STRNLEN(3)		   Linux Programmer's Manual		    STRNLEN(3)

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.

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2008.
