/**

Copy characters from one string to another.

Copies the first num characters of src to dest.

No null-character is implicitly appended to dest after copying process.

So dest may not be null-terminated if no null-caracters are copied from src.

If num is greater than the length of src, dest is padded with zeros until num.

@return dst is returned.

@param dst Destination string. Space allocated should be at least 

num characters long. 

@param src Null-terminated string. 

@param n Number of characters to be copied.
