standard.C.string.strncpy

strncpy is available since version 1.0.

Prototype:

number strncpy(string strDest, string strSource, number count);

Parameters

strDest
Destination string
strSource
Source string
count
Number of characters to be copied

Description:

Copy characters of one string to another.The strncpy function copies the initial count characters of strSource to strDest and returns strDest. If count is less than or equal to the length of strSource, a null character is not appended automatically to the copied string. If count is greater than the length of strSource, the destination string is padded with null characters up to length count. The behavior of strncpy is undefined if the source and destination strings overlap.

Return value:

Returns strDest.
