From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
Procrustean string
A fixed-length string. If a string value is
too long for the allocated space, it is truncated to fit; and
if it is shorter, the empty space is padded, usually with
space characters.
This is an allusion to Procrustes, a legendary robber of ancient
Attica. He bound his victims to a bed, and if they were shorter
than the bed, he stretched their limbs until they would fit; if
their limbs were longer, he lopped them off.
