Copies the first num characters of source to destination. If the end of the source C string (which is signaled by a null-character) is found before num characters have been copied, destination is padded with zeros until a total of num characters have been written to it.
No null-character is implicitly appended at the end of destination if source is longer than num. Thus, in this case, destination shall not be considered a null terminated C string (reading it as such would overflow).
destination and source shall not overlap (see memmove for a safer alternative when overlapping).

strncpy
char * strncpy ( char * destination, const char * source, size_t num );
Copy characters from string
No null-character is implicitly appended at the end of destination if source is longer than num. Thus, in this case, destination shall not be considered a null terminated C string (reading it as such would overflow).
destination and source shall not overlap (see memmove for a safer alternative when overlapping).
Parameters
- destination
- Pointer to the destination array where the content is to be copied.
- source
- C string to be copied.
- num
- Maximum number of characters to be copied from source.
size_t is an unsigned integral type.
Return Value
destination is returned.Example

Output:
To be or not to be To be or not to be To be |
