strlcpy – Copy a C-string into a sized buffer

Synopsis

size_t strlcpy(char *dest, const char *src, size_t size);

Arguments

dest

Where to copy the string to

src

Where to copy the string from

size

Description

Compatible with *BSD: the result is always a valid NUL-terminated string that fits in the buffer (unless, of course, the buffer size is zero). It does not pad out the result like strncpy does.
