## 17. SLsmg_write_nchars

Synopsis

  Write n characters to the virtual display

Usage

  `void SLsmg_write_nchars (char *s, unsigned int n);`

Description

  `SLsmg_write_nchars` writes at most `n` characters from the string `s` to the display. If the length of `s` is less than `n`, the whole length of the string will get written.

  This function differs from `SLsmg_write_nstring` in that `SLsmg_write_nstring` will pad the string to write exactly `n` characters. `SLsmg_write_nchars` does not perform any padding.
