+ dnl Both glibc and AIX (4.3.3, 5.1) have an stpncpy() function
+ dnl declared in <string.h>. Its side effects are the same as those
+ dnl of strncpy():
+ dnl stpncpy (dest, src, n)
+ dnl overwrites dest[0..n-1], min(strlen(src),n) bytes coming from src,
+ dnl and the remaining bytes being NULs. However, the return value is
+ dnl in glibc: dest + min(strlen(src),n)
+ dnl in AIX: dest + max(0,n-1)
+ dnl Only the glibc return value is useful in practice.
