+/**
+ * @internal
+ *
+ * @brief Copies a string to a destination buffer with size limitation and returns the length of
+ *        the source string.
+ *
+ * This function copies up to `size - 1` characters from the source string `src`
+ * to the destination buffer `dest`, ensuring that the destination buffer is
+ * null-terminated. The function returns the length of the source string `src`.
+ * If the length of `src` is greater than or equal to `size`, the destination
+ * buffer will be truncated.
+ *
+ * @param dst Destination buffer where the string will be copied.
+ * @param src Source string to be copied.
+ * @param size Size of the destination buffer.
+ * @return The length of the source string `src`.
+ *
+ * @note If the size of the destination buffer is 0, the function does not copy any characters and
+ *       the destination buffer is not null-terminated.
+ * @note The function ensures that the destination buffer is always null-terminated if `size` is
+ *       greater than 0.
+ * @note: this code is inspired from the strlcpy.c file from freeBSD .
