ustrzncpy(3) Allegro manual ustrzncpy(3)NAMEustrzncpy - Copies a string into another one, specifying size. Allegro
game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
char *ustrzncpy(char *dest, int size, const char *src, int n);
DESCRIPTION
This function is like ustrzcpy() except that no more than `n' charac‐
ters from `src' are copied into `dest' whose length in bytes is speci‐
fied by `size' and which is guaranteed to be null-terminated even if
`src' is bigger than `size'. If `src' is shorter than `n' characters,
null characters are appended to `dest' as padding until `n' characters
have been written. In any case, `dest' is guaranteed to be null-termi‐
nated.
Note that, even for empty strings, your destination string must have at
least enough bytes to store the terminating null character of the
string, and your parameter `size' must reflect this. Otherwise, the
debug version of Allegro will abort at an assertion, and the release
version of Allegro will overrun the destination buffer.
RETURN VALUE
The return value is the value of `dest'.
