stpcpy
Name
stpcpy -- copy a string returning a pointer to its end
Synopsis
char
*stpcpy
(char * restrict
dest, const char * restrict
src);
Description
The stpcpy
function shall
copy 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 shall 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
'\0' 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 buffer[256];
char *to = buffer;
to = stpcpy (to, "foo");
to = stpcpy (to, "bar");
printf ("%s\n", buffer);
