Declaration | char *strncpy(char *str1, const char *str2, size_t count); |
Function | copies up to count characters from *str2 to *str1. |
Return | returns a pointer to str1. |
- str2 must be a pointer to a null-terminated string.
- If *str2 has less than 'count' characters, nulls will be appended to *str1 until count characters have been copied.
- If *str2 is longer than count characters, the result *str1 will not be null terminated.
