strncpy Function

It copies up to count characters from *str2 to *str1 .

It returns a pointer to str1 .

Syntax:

  char *strncat(char *str1, const char *str2, size_t count);

 Note : str2 must be a pointer to a null-terminated string .
If *str2 has less than 'count' characters, nulls will be appended to *str1 until count characters have been copied .
If *str2 is longer than count characters, the result *str1 will not be null terminated .

Example:


#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>



int main()

{

  char str1[128]="Anuj is awesome !", str2[80];



  strncpy(str2, str1, 79);



  printf("%s",str2);

  return 0;

}
