This function pads 'string' with a number of 'char' characters, so that the total length is 'length'. The extra characters are prepended to the string: it is padded on the left. If 'truncate' is 1 and 'string' is longer than 'length' characters, it will be truncated to 'length' characters, otherwise it will be left as it is. |
