The result is always nul-terminated ** even if the source string is longer than the destination string, and the ** total space required is returned. The destination string is not ** nul-filled like strncpy does, just nul-terminated. */ #include "config.h" #include "clibrary.h" /* If we're running the test suite, rename strlcpy to avoid conflicts with the system version. */ #if TESTING # define strlcpy test_strlcpy size_t test_strlcpy(char *, const char *, size_t); #endif size_t strlcpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t size) { size_t length, copy; length = strlen(src); if (size > 0) { copy = (length >= size) ? size - 1 : length; memcpy(dst, src, copy); dst[copy] = '\0'; } return length; }
