NAME

       ustrzncpy  -  Copies  a string into another one, specifying size. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       char *ustrzncpy(char *dest, int size, const char *src, int n);

DESCRIPTION

       This function is like ustrzcpy() except that no more than `n' characters  from  `src'  are
       copied into `dest' whose length in bytes is specified by `size' and which is guaranteed to
       be null-terminated even if `src' is bigger than `size'.  If  `src'  is  shorter  than  `n'
       characters,  null  characters  are appended to `dest' as padding until `n' characters have
       been written. In any case, `dest' is guaranteed to be null-terminated.

       Note that, even for empty strings, your destination string must have at least enough bytes
       to  store  the  terminating  null  character of the string, and your parameter `size' must
       reflect this. Otherwise, the debug version of Allegro will abort at an assertion, and  the
       release version of Allegro will overrun the destination buffer.

RETURN VALUE

       The return value is the value of `dest'.
