NAME
strnlen - determine the length of a fixed-size string
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
size_t strnlen(const char *s, size_t maxlen);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
strnlen():
Since glibc 2.10:
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
Before glibc 2.10:
_GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The strnlen() function returns the number of bytes in the string
pointed to by s, excluding the terminating null byte ('\0'), but at
most maxlen. In doing this, strnlen() looks only at the first maxlen
bytes at s and never beyond s+maxlen.
RETURN VALUE
The strnlen() function returns strlen(s), if that is less than maxlen,
or maxlen if there is no null byte ('\0') among the first maxlen bytes
pointed to by s.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The strnlen() function is thread-safe.
