SDL_strndup - Allocate a copy of a string, up to n characters.

Availability

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.

Simple Directmedia Layer                           SDL 3.2.20                                     SDL_strndup(3)

Description

       This  allocates enough space for a null-terminated copy of str, up to maxlen bytes, using SDL_malloc, and
       then makes a copy of the string into this space.

       If the string is longer than maxlen bytes, the returned string will be maxlen bytes long,  plus  a  null-
       terminator character that isn't included in the count.

       The returned string is owned by the caller, and should be passed to SDL_free when no longer needed.

Function Parameters

str    the string to copy.

       maxlen the maximum length of the copied string, not counting the null-terminator character.
