Name
stpcpy — copy a string returning a pointer to its
end
Synopsis
char
*stpcpy( |
char * |
dest, |
| |
const char * |
src); |
DESCRIPTION
The stpcpy() function copies
the string pointed to by src (including the terminating
`\0' character) to the array pointed to by dest. The strings may not
overlap, and the destination string dest must be large enough to
receive the copy.
RETURN VALUE
stpcpy() returns a pointer
to the end of the
string dest (that is,
the address of the terminating null byte) rather than the
beginning.
CONFORMING TO
This function is not part of the C or POSIX.1 standards,
and is not customary on Unix systems, but is not a GNU
invention either. Perhaps it comes from MS-DOS.
EXAMPLE
For example, this program uses stpcpy() to concatenate foo and bar to produce foobar, which it then
prints.
