- /* File : strxnmov.c
- Author : Richard A. O'Keefe.
- Updated: 2 June 1984
- Defines: strxnmov()
-
- strxnmov(dst, len, src1, ..., srcn, NullS)
- moves the first len characters of the concatenation of src1,...,srcn
- to dst. If there aren't that many characters, a NUL character will
- be added to the end of dst to terminate it properly. This gives the
- same effect as calling strxcpy(buff, src1, ..., srcn, NullS) with a
- large enough buffer, and then calling strnmov(dst, buff, len).
- It is just like strnmov except that it concatenates multiple sources.
- Beware: the last argument should be the null character pointer.
- Take VERY great care not to omit it! Also be careful to use NullS
- and NOT to use 0, as on some machines 0 is not the same size as a
- character pointer, or not the same bit pattern as NullS.
-
- Note: strxnmov is like strnmov in that it always moves EXACTLY len
- characters; dst will be padded on the right with NUL characters as
- needed. strxncpy does the same. strxncat, like strncat, does NOT.
