fmt_strn(3)           DragonFly Library Functions Manual           fmt_strn(3)

NAME
       fmt_strn - write an ASCII string

SYNTAX
       #include <fmt.h>

       size_t fmt_strn(char *dest,const char *source,
                             size_t maxlen);

DESCRIPTION
       fmt_str copies at most maxlen leading nonzero bytes from source to dest
       and returns the number of bytes it copied.

       fmt_str does not append \0.

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