Size-bounded C string concatenation function.

Copies as many characters from src as will fit in dst, given that dst has at least size bytes of storage space available. Note that size refers to the full size of the buffer, not just the free space. Guarantees to NUL-terminate dst if size > 0.

Parameters

src

the string to copy from

dst

the string to copy to

size

the size of dst (including the terminating NUL)

Return Values

Returns the length of src. If the return value >= size, there was insufficient space in dst and truncation took place.
