int32 CToPStr(cstr, pstr);

Purpose

Converts a C string to a Pascal string, even if the pointers cstr and pstr refer to the same memory location. If the length of cstr is greater than 255 characters, this function converts only the first 255 characters. The function assumes pstr is large enough to contain cstr.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
cstr	CStr	Pointer to a C string.
pstr	PStr	Pointer to a Pascal string.

Return Value

The length of the string, truncated to a maximum of 255 characters.
