.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR stpcpy ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
function copies the string pointed to by
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.I src
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
(including the terminating null byte (\(aq\\0\(aq)) to the array pointed to by
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR dest .
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
The strings may not overlap, and the destination string
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.I dest
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
must be large enough to receive the copy.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR stpcpy ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
returns a pointer to the
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.B end
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
of the string
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.I dest
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
(that is, the address of the terminating null byte)
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
rather than the beginning.

.SH CONFORMING TO
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
This function was added to POSIX.1-2008.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
Before that, it was not part of
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
the C or POSIX.1 standards, nor customary on UNIX systems.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
It first appeared at least as early as 1986,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
in the Lattice C AmigaDOS compiler,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
then in the GNU fileutils and GNU textutils in 1989,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
and in the GNU C library by 1992.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
It is also present on the BSDs.
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.SH BUGS
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
This function may overrun the buffer
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.IR dest .
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
For example, this program uses
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR stpcpy ()
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
to concatenate
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.B foo
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
and
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.B bar
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
to produce
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
.BR foobar ,
|
|
Packit |
7cfc04 |
which it then prints.
