+.TH LIBSIMPLE_STRNCMOVE 3 2018-11-25 libsimple
+.SH NAME
+libsimple_strncmove, libsimple_strnccpy \- copy or move a string within an array of bytes
+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsimple_strncmove ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_strnccpy ()
+functions copy the string, including the
+NUL byte that terminates it,
+.I src
+into
+.IR dest .
+However the copying stops directly after that character
+.I c
+(it is converted to a
+.BR char )
+is copied or after
+.I n
+characters have been copied. A NUL byte is written after
+the last copied character unless
+.I n
+chracters have been copied.
+.PP
+The arrays may overlap in the
+.BR libsimple_strncmove ()
+function but not in the
+.BR libsimple_strnccpy ()
+function.
+.PP
+The comparison is case-sensitive.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsimple_strncmove ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_strnccpy ()
+functions return a pointer directly behind
+the position of the character
+.I c
+in the string
+.I dest
+after it was copied, if the character
+.I c
+was not copied
+.I NULL
+is returned.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsimple_strncmove ()
+and
+.BR libsimple_strnccpy ()
+functions cannot fail.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).
