NAME

       SDL_utf8strlcpy - Copy an UTF-8 string.

HEADER FILE

       Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

SYNOPSIS

       #include "SDL3/SDL.h"

       size_t SDL_utf8strlcpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t dst_bytes);

DESCRIPTION

       This function copies up to dst_bytes

       •  1 bytes from src to dst while also ensuring that the string written to dst does not end in a truncated
       multi-byte sequence. Finally, it appends a null terminator.  src and dst must not overlap.

       Note that unlike SDL_strlcpy (), this function returns the number of bytes written, not the length of src
       .

FUNCTION PARAMETERS

       dst    The destination buffer. Must not be NULL, and must not overlap with src .

       src    The null-terminated UTF-8 string to copy. Must not be NULL, and must not overlap with dst .

       dst_bytes
              The length (in bytes) of the destination buffer. Must not be 0.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the number of bytes written, excluding the null terminator.

THREAD SAFETY

       It is safe to call this function from any thread.

AVAILABILITY

       This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
