Function
GLibstrlcat
Declaration [src]
gsize
g_strlcat (
gchar* dest,
const gchar* src,
gsize dest_size
)
Description [src]
Portability wrapper that calls strlcat() on systems which have it,
and emulates it otherwise. Appends nul-terminated src string to dest,
guaranteeing nul-termination for dest. The total size of dest won’t exceed dest_size.
At most dest_size - 1 characters will be copied. Unlike strncat(),
dest_size is the full size of dest, not the space left over. This
function does not allocate memory. It always nul-terminates (unless
dest_size == 0 or there were no nul characters in the dest_size
characters of dest to start with).
Caveat: this is supposedly a more secure alternative to strcat() or
strncat(), but for real security g_strconcat() is harder to mess up.
Parameters
dest-
Type:
gchar*Destination buffer, already containing one nul-terminated string.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. src-
Type:
const gchar*Source buffer.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. dest_size-
Type:
gsizeLength of
destbuffer in bytes (not length of existing string insidedest).
