92 This function copies the source string @a src to the destination buffer @a
93 dst of size @a n without overflowing the buffer and ensuring that it is
94 always @NUL-terminated.
95
96 Example of use:
97 @code
98 char buf[256];
99 if ( wxStrlcpy(buf, GetSomeString(), WXSIZEOF(buf)) > WXSIZEOF(buf) )
100 ... handle truncation ...
101 @endcode
102 Notice that using wxStrncpy() in similar way is wrong, the above is broadly
103 equivalent to
104 @code
105 char buf[256];
106 buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] = '\0';
107 wxStrncpy(buf, GetSomeString(), WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1);
108 if ( buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] != '\0' )
109 {
110 ... truncation occurred ...
111 // need to NUL-terminate string manually
112 buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] = '\0';
113 }
114 @endcode
115 which should explain the advantage of using wxStrlcpy().
116
117 Notice that this function is similar to the OpenBSD strlcpy() function.
118
119 The template parameter @a T can be either @c char or @c wchar_t.
120
121 @param dst
122 Destination buffer of size (greater or) equal to @a n.
123 @param src
124 @NUL-terminated source string.
125 @param n
126 The size of the destination buffer.
127 @return
128 The length of @a src, if the returned value is greater or equal to @a n
129 then there was not enough space in the destination buffer and the
130 string was truncated.
