Clib.strncpy()

syntax:

Clib.strncpy(dstStr, srcStr, maxLen)

where:

dstStr - destination string to which the source string will be copied.

 

srcStr - source string to copy to destination string.

 

maxLen - maximum number of characters to copy.

 

return:

string - the value of dstStr after the copy process.

 

description:

This method copies:

 

Clib.min(Clib.strlen(srcStr)+1, MaxLen)

 

characters from srcStr to dstStr. If dstStr is not already defined then this method defines it as a string. The destination string is padded with null characters, if maxLen is greater than the length of srcStr, and a null character is appended to dstStr if maxLen characters are copied. It is safe to copy from one part of a string to another part of the same string. Returns the value of dstStr; that is, a variable into the destination array based at dstStr[0].
