NAME

       strncpy - General: Copies a null-terminated character string with a specified limit

SYNOPSIS

       char * strncpy(
	       char *s1,
	       char *s2,
	       int n );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  a pointer to a buffer of at least n bytes.  Specifies a pointer to a string (an array of characters terminated by a null charac-
       ter).  Specifies the number of characters to be copied.

DESCRIPTION

       The strncpy routine copies string s2 to buffer s1. The routine stops copying after it copies a null character or  n  characters,  whichever
       comes first.  If the length of s2 as determined by the null character is less than n, the routine pads s1 with null characters.

RETURN VALUES

       The  strncpy  routine  returns a pointer to /NULL at the end of the first string (or to the location following the last copied character if
       there is no NULL). The copied string will not be null terminated if the length of s2 is n characters or more.

NAME

       bcopy - General: Copies a series of bytes with a specified limit

SYNOPSIS

       void bcopy(
	       char *b1,
	       char *b2,
	       int n );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  a  pointer  to  a  byte string (array of characters).  This pointer can reside in kernel address space or in user address space.
       Specifies a pointer to a buffer of at least n bytes. This pointer can reside in kernel address space or in user address	space.	 Specifies
       the number of bytes to be copied.

DESCRIPTION

       The  bcopy  routine  copies n bytes from string b1 to buffer b2.  No check is made for null bytes. The copy is nondestructive, that is, the
       address ranges of b1 and b2 can overlap.

RETURN VALUES

       None

EXAMPLES

       The following code fragment shows a call to bcopy:

       .  .  .

       struct tc_slot  tc_slot[TC_IOSLOTS];

       .  .  .

       char *cp;

       .  .  .

       bcopy(tc_slot[index].modulename, cp, TC_ROMNAMLEN + 1);

       .  .  .
