NAME
ustrncpy - Copies a string into another one, specifying size. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
char *ustrncpy(char *dest, const char *src, int n);
DESCRIPTION
This function is like ustrcpy() except that no more than `n' characters
from `src' are copied into `dest'. If `src' is shorter than `n' characters,
null characters are appended to `dest' as padding until `n' characters have
been written.
Note that if `src' is longer than `n' characters, `dest' will not be
null-terminated.
RETURN VALUE
The return value is the value of `dest'.
