uInt32 LToCStrN(ConstLStrPtr, CStr, uInt32);

Purpose

Converts a LabVIEW string to a C string, even if the pointers source and dest refer to the same memory location. If the length of source is greater than destSize, this function converts only the first characters that fit into the C string buffer. The function assumes that destSize is the size of dest in bytes.

Parameters

Name Type Description
source ConstLStrP Pointer to a LabVIEW string.
dest CStr Pointer to a C string.
destSize uInt32 Size of the C string buffer.

Return Value

The length of the string, truncated to the maximum number of characters specified by destSize.
