ustrzcpy(3) Allegro manual ustrzcpy(3)
NAME
ustrzcpy - Copies a string into another one, specifying size. Allegro
game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
char *ustrzcpy(char *dest, int size, const char *src);
DESCRIPTION
This function copies `src' (including the terminating null character)
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'.
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
Returns the value of `dest'.
