fmt_pad(3)		    Library Functions Manual		      fmt_pad(3)

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.
