bson_strncpy()#

Synopsis#

void
bson_strncpy (char *dst, const char *src, size_t size);

Parameters#

  • dst: The destination buffer.

  • src: The src buffer.

  • size: The number of bytes to copy into dst, which must be at least that size.

Description#

Copies up to size bytes from src into dst. dst must be at least size bytes in size. A trailing \0 is always set.

Does nothing if size is zero.

bson_strncpy matches the behavior of the C11 standard strncpy_s, rather than strncpy. This means that bson_strncpy always writes a null terminator to dst, even if dst is too short to fit the entire string from src. If there is additional space left in dst after copying src, bson_strncpy does not fill the remaining space with null characters.
