Description
Copies up to a specified maximum number of characters from Source to Dest.
StrLCopy copies a maximum MaxLen characters from Source to Dest, then adds a null terminator to Dest and returns Dest. The SizeOf standard function (Delphi) or the sizeof operator (C++) can be used to determine the MaxLen parameter. Usually, MaxLen equals SizeOf(Dest)-1.
Note: StrLCopy copies a null terminator as well as MaxLen characters. Be sure that Dest is large enough to accommodate the null terminator at the end.
