PetscStrncpy#
Copies a string up to a certain length
Synopsis#
#include "petscsys.h"
PetscErrorCode PetscStrncpy(char s[], const char t[], size_t n)
Not Collective
Input Parameters#
t - pointer to string
n - the length to copy
Output Parameter#
s - the copied string
Note#
Null string returns a string starting with zero
If the string that is being copied is of length n or larger then the entire string is not
copied and the final location of s is set to NULL. This is different then the behavior of
strncpy() which leaves s non-terminated if there is not room for the entire string.
Developers Note#
Should this be PetscStrlcpy() to reflect its behavior which is like strlcpy() not strncpy()
