NAME

       ustrncpy  -  Copies a string into another one, specifying size. Allegro
       game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       char *ustrncpy(char *dest, const char *src, int n);

DESCRIPTION

       This function is like ustrcpy() except that no more than `n' characters
       from  `src'  are  copied  into  `dest'.  If  `src'  is shorter than `n'
       characters, null characters are appended to `dest' as padding until `n'
       characters have been written.

       Note  that  if  `src' is longer than `n' characters, `dest' will not be
       null-terminated.

RETURN VALUE

       The return value is the value of `dest'.
