stpcpy
NAME
stpcpy - copy a string returning a pointer to its end
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <string.h> I char *stpcpy(char * dest , const char * src );
DESCRIPTION
The
R 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
R 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
R 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);
}
