Function Documentation

strncpy()

char* strncpy	(	char *	s1,
		const char *	s2,
		size_t	n
	)

Copies no more than n characters with null terminator from s2 to s1.

Parameters

*s1	The destination array
*s2	The source string
n	Maximum number of characters to copy

The strncpy function copies not more than n characters (characters that follow a null character are not copied) from the array pointed to by s2 to the array pointed to be s1. If the array pointed to by s2 is a string that is shorter than n characters, null characters are appended to the copy in the array pointed to by s1, until n characters in all have been written.

Note

Copying between overlapping objects is supported, but the source may be overwritten.

Returns
