strnmov.c

Many C samples. It is a good sample for students to learn C language.

    Defines: strnmov()

    strnmov(dst, src, n) moves up to n characters of  src  to  dst.   It
    always  moves  exactly n characters to dst; if src is shorter than n
    characters dst will be extended on the right with NULs, while if src
    is longer than n characters dst will be a truncated version  of  src
    and  will  not  have  a closing NUL.  The result is a pointer to the
    first NUL in dst, or is dst+n if dst was truncated.
