If _BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
and overlap can be excluded, how about:

if (snprintf(out, "%.*s", sizeof (out), in) >= sizeof (out))
	return -EOVERFLOW;

Note that Win32 snprintf() behaves subtly differently with equal sizes,
I do this in some code to compensate by wasting 1 byte on non-Win32:

#define snprintf_sizeof(str, ...) snprintf((str), sizeof (str) - 1, __VA_ARGS__)
