1.30.4 Jun 08, 2025 BSON_STRNCPY(3)
Description
Copies up to size bytes from src into dst. dst must be at least size bytes in size. A trailing \0 is
always set.
Does nothing if size is zero.
bson_strncpy matches the behavior of the C11 standard strncpy_s, rather than strncpy. This means that
bson_strncpy always writes a null terminator to dst, even if dst is too short to fit the entire string
from src. If there is additional space left in dst after copying src, bson_strncpy does not fill the
remaining space with null characters.
Parameters
• dst: The destination buffer.
• src: The src buffer.
• size: The number of bytes to copy into dst, which must be at least that size.
Synopsis
void
bson_strncpy (char *dst, const char *src, size_t size);
