.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <fmt.h>

unsigned int \fBfmt_str\fP(char *\fIdest\fR,const char *\fIsource\fR);
.SH DESCRIPTION
fmt_str copies all leading nonzero bytes from \fIsource\fR to \fIdest\fR
and returns the number of bytes it copied.

fmt_str does not append \\0.

If \fIdest\fR equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_str returns the number
of bytes it would have written, i.e. the number of leading nonzero bytes
of \fIsource\fR.
