ustrzncpy(3)                    Allegro manual                    ustrzncpy(3)



NAME
       ustrzncpy - 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'
       characters from `src' are copied into `dest'. 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-terminated.

       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'.
