Change:
    The strndup() function shall be equivalent to the strdup()
    function, duplicating the provided s in a new block of memory
    allocated as if by using malloc(), with the exception being
    that strndup() copies at most size plus one bytes into the newly
    allocated memory, terminating the new string with a NUL character.
    If the length of s is larger than size, only size bytes shall
    be duplicated. If size is larger than the length of s, all bytes
    in s shall be copied into the new memory buffer, including the
    terminating NUL character.

to:
    The strndup() function shall be equivalent to the strdup()
    function, duplicating the provided s in a new block of memory
    allocated as if by using malloc(), with the exception being
    that strndup() copies at most size bytes from the array s into
    the newly allocated memory, terminating the new string with a
    null byte. If s contains a null terminator within the first
    size bytes, all bytes in s up to and including the null terminator
    shall be copied into the new memory buffer. The strndup()
    function shall not examine more than size bytes of the array
    pointed to by s.
