NAME

fmt_pad - pad a string with spaces.

SYNTAX

#include <libowfat/fmt.h>

size_t fmt_pad (char * dest , const char * source ,
size_t srclen , size_t padlen ,
size_t maxlen );

DESCRIPTION

fmt_pad writes padlen - srclen spaces (if that number is positive) and then srclen characters from source . It truncates the output only if the length would exceed maxlen .

It returns the number of bytes it wrote.

fmt_pad does not append \0.

If dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_pad returns the number of bytes it would have written.
