stpcpy
Name
stpcpy -- copy a string returning a pointer to its end
Synopsis
char
*stpcpy
(char
*dest, const char
*src);
Description
stpcpy 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 character) rather than the beginning.
Example
This program uses stpcpy to concatenate
foo and bar to produce
foobar, which it then prints.
#include <string.h>
int
main (void)
{
char *to = buffer;
to = stpcpy (to, "foo");
to = stpcpy (to, "bar");
printf ("%s\n", buffer);
