NAME
       strncpy	-  General:  Copies  a null-terminated character string with a
       specified limit

SYNOPSIS
       char * strncpy(
	       char *s1,
	       char *s2,
	       int n );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies a pointer to a buffer of  at  least  n	 bytes.	  Specifies  a
       pointer	to a string (an array of characters terminated by a null char‐
       acter).	Specifies the number of characters to be copied.

DESCRIPTION
       The strncpy routine copies string s2 to buffer s1.  The	routine	 stops
       copying	after  it  copies  a null character or n characters, whichever
       comes first.  If the length of s2 as determined by the  null  character
       is less than n, the routine pads s1 with null characters.

RETURN VALUES
       The  strncpy routine returns a pointer to /NULL at the end of the first
       string (or to the location following the last copied character if there
       is  no  NULL).  The  copied  string  will not be null terminated if the
       length of s2 is n characters or more.
