ustrzncat(3alleg4)

💖 NAME 💖

ustrzncat — concatenates a string to another one, specifying size. It's part of the Allegro game programming library, bestie. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

char *ustrzncat(char *dest, int size, const char *src, int n);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture ustrzcat() but with boundaries, and honestly? boundaries are iconic. 💅

This function is like ustrzcat() except that no more than n characters from src are appended to the end of dest.

And here's the tea 🍓: if the terminating null character in src is reached before n characters have been written, the null character is copied — but no other characters are written. She stops there, periodt.

ngl the one thing you can fully trust here: dest is guaranteed to be null-terminated. no cap. 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

The return value is the value of dest. That's it, that's the whole vibe. ⭐
