Here is what I read from "The GNU C Library"
(http://www.gnu.org/manual/glibc-2.2.3/html_mono/libc.html) in which I
thought the words "bytes" and "character" were carefully chosen:
No.
Function: char * strncpy (char *restrict to, const char *restrict from,
size_t size)
This function is similar to strcpy but always copies exactly size
CHARACTERS into to.
The man page is correct. The info page should also say
bytes instead of characters to prevent confusion.
