Function

GLib-2.0 ▶ GLib ▶ utf8_strncpy

  • Like the standard C strncpy() function, but copies a given number of characters instead of a given number of bytes.

    The src string must be valid UTF-8 encoded text. (Use GLib.utf8_validate on all text before trying to use UTF-8 utility functions with it.)

    Note you must ensure dest is at least 4 * n + 1 to fit the largest possible UTF-8 characters

    Parameters

    • dest: string

      buffer to fill with characters from src

    • src: string

      UTF-8 encoded string

    • n: number

      character count

    Returns string

    dest
