Hi,

Could anyone post the source code for strncpy present in linux OS

Thanks,

First, unless you are talking about klibc, Linux itself doesn't have a "strncpy".
Secondly, Erm, why do you need this?

But unfortunately i didn't have linux OS in my system so i would like to get the definition to clarify my doubt on implementation.

and it is present in the path
/usr/src/linux2.4 or some thing like that
or
we can get the path where it is present by doing grep on strncpy.

your help is more appreciated.

thanks.

Come on isn't that just being lazy? After all you are telling people how to search

If you need this in a non open source project, you must use something with the BSD license. Also, you should use strlcpy, it does what you expect as something that was designed to be safe, not co-opted into the role.
