SDL_strlcpy

Copy a string.

Header File

size_t SDL_strlcpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t maxlen);

char *	dst	The destination buffer. Must not be NULL, and must not overlap with `src`.
const char *	src	The null-terminated string to copy. Must not be NULL, and must not overlap with `dst`.
size_t	maxlen	The length (in characters) of the destination buffer.

(size_t) Returns The length (in characters, excluding the null terminator) of src.

This function copies up to maxlen - 1 characters from src to dst, then appends a null terminator.

If maxlen is 0, no characters are copied and no null terminator is written.

If you want to copy an UTF-8 string but need to ensure that multi-byte sequences are not truncated, consider using SDL_utf8strlcpy().

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

This function is available since SDL 3.1.3.
