998 Appendix A: System Routines - Strings strncpy Declaration: char * strncpy (char * s1, const char * s2, size_t count) Category(ies): Strings Description: Copies no more than count characters from the string pointed to by s2 to the character buffer pointed to by s1. The result will not be null terminated if string s2 is longer than count characters. If the objects pointed to by s1 and s2 overlap in memory, the behavior is undefined. Inputs: s1 - Buffer to copy to. s2 - Character string to copy from. count - Number of characters to copy. Outputs: Returns the value of s1. Assumptions: s1 points to a buffer large enough to hold count characters. Side Effects: None Availability: All versions of the TI-89 / TI-92 Plus. TI-89 / TI-92 Plus Differences: None See Also: strcpy, memcpy, memmove Example: short CustomError( short errCode, const BYTE *msg) /* Create custom error message. */ { BYTE buf[260]; memset( buf, 0, sizeof(buf) ); strncpy( (char *) buf, (char *) msg, 128 ); strcat( (char *) buf, "\n" ); strncat( (char *) buf, (char *) find_error_message(errCode), 128 ); return( DlgMessage((const char *) XR_stringPtr(XR_ERROR), (const char *) buf, PDB_OK, 0) ); } TI-89 / TI-92 Plus Developer Guide Not for Distribution Beta Version January 26, 2001
