NAME

       fmt_pad - pad a string with spaces.

SYNTAX

       #include <fmt.h>

       size_t fmt_pad(char *dest, const char *source,
             size_t srclen, size_t padlen,
             size_t maxlen);

DESCRIPTION

       fmt_pad  writes  padlen-srclen  spaces  (if  that  number  is  positive)  and  then srclen
       characters from source.  It truncates the output only if the length would exceed maxlen.

       It returns the number of bytes it wrote.

       fmt_pad does not append \0.

       If dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_pad returns the number of bytes it  would  have
       written.
