So, if you want to copy from a character sequence into a string, you search for that, and it will tell you what functions you can use for that (strncat(3) is the only standard one). If you want to search for a specific function, you can always search with '/strncpy'. Cheers, Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
