20 | .Sh NAME | ||
21 | .Nm strlcpy , | ||
22 | .Nm strlcat | ||
23 | .Nd size-bounded string copying and concatenation | ||
24 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | ||
25 | .Fd #include <string.h> | ||
26 | .Ft size_t | ||
27 | .Fn strlcpy "char *dst" "const char *src" "size_t dstsize" | ||
28 | .Ft size_t | ||
29 | .Fn strlcat "char *dst" "const char *src" "size_t dstsize" | ||
30 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
31 | The | ||
32 | .Fn strlcpy | ||
33 | and | ||
34 | .Fn strlcat | ||
35 | functions copy and concatenate strings with the | ||
36 | same input parameters and output result as | ||
37 | .Xr snprintf 3 . | ||
38 | They are designed to be safer, more consistent, and less error | ||
39 | prone replacements for the easily misused functions | ||
40 | .Xr strncpy 3 | ||
41 | and | ||
42 | .Xr strncat 3 . | ||
43 | .Pp | ||
44 | .Fn strlcpy | ||
45 | and | ||
46 | .Fn strlcat | ||
47 | take the full size of the destination buffer and guarantee | ||
48 | NUL-termination if there is room. | ||
49 | Note that room for the NUL should be included in | ||
50 | .Fa dstsize . | ||
51 | .Pp | ||
52 | .Fn strlcpy | ||
53 | copies up to | ||
54 | .Fa dstsize | ||
55 | \- 1 characters from the string | ||
56 | .Fa src | ||
57 | to | ||
58 | .Fa dst , | ||
59 | NUL-terminating the result if | ||
60 | .Fa dstsize | ||
61 | is not 0. | ||
62 | .Pp | ||
63 | .Fn strlcat | ||
64 | appends string | ||
65 | .Fa src | ||
66 | to the end of | ||
67 | .Fa dst . | ||
68 | It will append at most | ||
69 | .Fa dstsize | ||
70 | \- strlen(dst) \- 1 characters. | ||
71 | It will then NUL-terminate, unless | ||
72 | .Fa dstsize | ||
73 | is 0 or the original | ||
74 | .Fa dst | ||
75 | string was longer than | ||
76 | .Fa dstsize | ||
77 | (in practice this should not happen | ||
78 | as it means that either | ||
79 | .Fa dstsize | ||
80 | is incorrect or that | ||
81 | .Fa dst | ||
82 | is not a proper string). | ||
83 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
84 | Besides quibbles over the return type | ||
85 | .Pf ( Va size_t | ||
86 | versus | ||
87 | .Va int ) | ||
88 | and signal handler safety | ||
89 | .Pf ( Xr snprintf 3 | ||
90 | is not entirely safe on some systems), the | ||
91 | following two are equivalent: | ||
92 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
93 | n = strlcpy(dst, src, len); | ||
94 | n = snprintf(dst, len, "%s", src); | ||
95 | .Ed | ||
96 | .Pp | ||
97 | Like | ||
98 | .Xr snprintf 3 , | ||
99 | the | ||
100 | .Fn strlcpy | ||
101 | and | ||
102 | .Fn strlcat | ||
103 | functions return the total length of the string they tried to create. | ||
104 | For | ||
105 | .Fn strlcpy | ||
106 | that means the length of | ||
107 | .Fa src . | ||
108 | For | ||
109 | .Fn strlcat | ||
110 | that means the initial length of | ||
111 | .Fa dst | ||
112 | plus | ||
113 | the length of | ||
114 | .Fa src . | ||
115 | .Pp | ||
116 | If the return value is | ||
117 | .Cm >= | ||
118 | .Va dstsize , | ||
119 | the output string has been truncated. | ||
120 | It is the caller's responsibility to handle this. | ||
121 | .Sh EXAMPLES | ||
122 | The following code fragment illustrates the simple case: | ||
123 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
124 | char *s, *p, buf[BUFSIZ]; | ||
125 | |||
126 | \&... | ||
127 | |||
128 | (void)strlcpy(buf, s, sizeof(buf)); | ||
129 | (void)strlcat(buf, p, sizeof(buf)); | ||
130 | .Ed | ||
131 | .Pp | ||
132 | To detect truncation, perhaps while building a pathname, something | ||
133 | like the following might be used: | ||
134 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
135 | char *dir, *file, pname[MAXPATHLEN]; | ||
136 | |||
137 | \&... | ||
138 | |||
139 | if (strlcpy(pname, dir, sizeof(pname)) >= sizeof(pname)) | ||
140 | goto toolong; | ||
141 | if (strlcat(pname, file, sizeof(pname)) >= sizeof(pname)) | ||
142 | goto toolong; | ||
143 | .Ed | ||
144 | .Pp | ||
145 | Since it is known how many characters were copied the first time, things | ||
146 | can be sped up a bit by using a copy instead of an append: | ||
147 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
148 | char *dir, *file, pname[MAXPATHLEN]; | ||
149 | size_t n; | ||
150 | |||
151 | \&... | ||
152 | |||
153 | n = strlcpy(pname, dir, sizeof(pname)); | ||
154 | if (n >= sizeof(pname)) | ||
155 | goto toolong; | ||
156 | if (strlcpy(pname + n, file, sizeof(pname) - n) >= sizeof(pname) - n) | ||
157 | goto toolong; | ||
158 | .Ed | ||
159 | .Pp | ||
160 | However, one may question the validity of such optimizations, as they | ||
161 | defeat the whole purpose of | ||
162 | .Fn strlcpy | ||
163 | and | ||
164 | .Fn strlcat . | ||
165 | As a matter of fact, the first version of this manual page got it wrong. | ||
