C++ Information

From SysUtils.hpp

	char * __fastcall StrLCopy(char * Dest, const char * Source, unsigned int MaxLen);

Unit: SysUtils

Type: function

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.
