Overview
This function is equivalent to strncpy(3), but it returns a pointer to one past the last nonnull written character.
It is equivalent to
memset(mempcpy(dst, src, strnlen(src, dsize)), '\0',
dsize - strnlen(src, dsize))
Return value
This function returns a pointer to one past the last non-null character written, that is, dest + strnlen(src, n).
