+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR strnlen ()
+function returns the number of bytes in the string
+pointed to by
+.IR s ,
+excluding the terminating null byte (\[aq]\e0\[aq]),
+but at most
+.IR maxlen .
+In doing this,
+.BR strnlen ()
+looks only at the first
+.I maxlen
+characters in the string pointed to by
+.I s
+and never beyond
+.IR s[maxlen\-1] .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR strnlen ()
+function returns
+.IR strlen(s) ,
+if that is less than
+.IR maxlen ,
+or
+.I maxlen
+if there is no null terminating (\[aq]\e0\[aq]) among the first
+.I maxlen
+characters pointed to by
+.IR s .
