strndup (3pub)

#include <publib.h>
char *strndup(const char *str, size_t n);

strndup will make a duplicate of the n first characters of str, using malloc(3) to allocate memory for the duplicate. The caller is supposed to free the duplicate's memory when no longer needed.

strndup will return a pointer to the duplicate, or NULL if no memory could be allocated.
