I want to use StrNCopy() with a single byte character string. I understand that if the src string is less than n-characters in length that the dst string gets padded to the right with NULLs. This is good. But if the src is n-characters or longer then no NULL is appended to the dst string and you don't have a NULL terminated string anymore.
What is the best way to work around this? Simply place a NULL at the end of the destination string every time you use this function? Like this: Char dst[10]; StrNCopy(dst, "Longer than 10 bytes", 10); // too long so no NULL us appended dst[9] = 0; // always NULL the last char whether we need to or not. -- or -- Char dst[10]; StrNCopy(dst, "Hello", 10); // padded with NULLs dst[9] = 0; // always NULL the last char whether we need to or not. What if I want to make sure this is Multi-Byte Character friendly? I have no experience in that area but I am always up for making my code forward compatible.
