Subject: [TUHS] History of strncpy
Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:33:37 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0E95A92F-43AD-4DA2-9921-57265426830B@ronnatalie.com> (raw)

I did some searching and the previous answer is correct.   Neither V6 or PWB 1 have any of the str functions.    V7 and 32V both have them (including strncpy).
I was wrong in my conjecture it came over with the portable (later to be std) io library.   It seems to have happened in the revamping of libc into seperate subdirectories.
