Str.strndup

Duplicates the first @n bytes of a string, returning a newly-allocated buffer @n + 1 bytes long which will always be nul-terminated. If @str is less than @n bytes long the buffer is padded with nuls. If @str is %NULL it returns %NULL. The returned value should be freed when no longer needed.

To copy a number of characters from a UTF-8 encoded string, use g_utf8_strncpy() instead.
