pmstrncpy - safe string copy
Contents
C Synopsis
#include<pcp/pmapi.h>intpmstrncpy(char*dest,size_tdestlen,char*src);cc...-lpcp
Description
pmstrncpy is safe string copying routine with semantics similar to strncpy(3).
The main differences are that src must be null-byte terminated, destlen is the length of the destination
buffer (dest) not the length of the source string (src), and pmstrncpy ensures that dest is null-byte
terminated, even when strlen(src) is larger than destlen.
On success, pmstrncpy returns 0, else -1 indicates that src is too big and the result been truncated to
ensure dest has no been overrun.
