Declarationchar *strncpy(char *str1, const char *str2, size_t count);
Functioncopies up to count characters from *str2 to *str1.
Returnreturns a pointer to str1.


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