Copy a string, to a maximum length
#include <string.h>
char* strncpy( char* dst,
const char* src,
size_t n );
- dst
- A pointer to where you want to copy the string.
- src
- The string that you want to copy.
- n
- The maximum number of characters that you want to copy.
libc
Use the -l c option to
qcc
to link against this library.
This library is usually included automatically.
The strncpy() function copies
no more than n characters from the string pointed to by
src into the array pointed to by dst.
|
Copying of overlapping objects isn't guaranteed to work properly.
See the
memmove()
function if you wish to copy objects that overlap. |
If the string pointed to by src is shorter than n
characters, null characters are appended to the copy in the array pointed
to by dst, until n characters in all have been written.
If the string pointed to by src is longer than n
characters, then the result isn't terminated by a null character.
The same pointer as dst.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main( void )
{
char buffer[15];
printf( "%s\n", strncpy( buffer, "abcdefg", 10 ) );
printf( "%s\n", strncpy( buffer, "1234567", 6 ) );
printf( "%s\n", strncpy( buffer, "abcdefg", 3 ) );
printf( "%s\n", strncpy( buffer, "*******", 0 ) );
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
produces the output:
abcdefg
123456g
abc456g
abc456g
