NAME
strncpy - copy a number of characters from head or all of a string
to head or all of a string
SYNOPSIS
strncpy(s1, s2, n)
TYPES
s1 string
s2 string
n nonnegative integer
return string
DESCRIPTION
Let n1 = size(s1), n2 = size(n2), and m = min(n1, n2, n).
This function replaces the first m characters of s1 by the first
m characters of s2, and if min(n1, n) > n2, replaces the next
min(n1,n) - n2 characters of s1 by '\0'. The size of s1 and any
later characters of s1 are unchanged. The function returns s1, with
new value.
EXAMPLE
; strncpy("abcdef", "xyz", 0) == "abcdef"
; strncpy("abcdef", "xyz", 1) == "xbcdef"
; strncpy("abcdef", "xyz", 2) == "xycdef"
; strncpy("abcdef", "xyz", 3) == "xyzdef"
; strncpy("abcdef", "xyz", 4) == "xyz\0ef"
; strncpy("abcdef", "xyz", 5) == "xyz\0\0f"
; strncpy("ab", "xyz", 3) == "xy"
