STPNCPY(3) Linux Programmer's Manual STPNCPY(3)NAMEstpncpy - copy a fixed-size string, returning a pointer to its endSYNOPSIS#define _GNU_SOURCE #include <string.h> char *stpncpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);DESCRIPTIONThe stpncpy() function copies at most n characters from the string pointed to by src, including the terminating ' ' character, to the array pointed to by dest. Exactly n characters are written at dest. If the length strlen(src) is smaller than n, the remaining characters in the array pointed to by dest are filled with ' ' characters. If the length strlen(src) is greater or equal to n, the string pointed to by dest will not be ' ' terminated. The strings may not overlap. The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least n characters at dest.RETURN VALUEstpncpy() returns a pointer to the terminating null in dest, or, if dest is not null-terminated, dest + n.CONFORMING TOThis function is a GNU extension.SEE ALSOstrncpy(3), wcpncpy(3), feature_test_macros(7)COLOPHONThis page is part of release 3.25 of the Linux man-pages project.
