The strings may not overlap, and the destination string +\fIdest\fP must be large enough to receive the copy. +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +\fBstpcpy()\fP returns a pointer to the \fBend\fP of the string +\fIdest\fP (that is, the address of the terminating null character) +rather than the beginning. +.SH EXAMPLE +For example, this program uses \fBstpcpy\fP to concatenate \fBfoo\fP and +\fBbar\fP to produce \fBfoobar\fP, which it then prints. +.nf + + #include <string.h> + + int + main (void) + { + char *to = buffer; + to = stpcpy (to, "foo"); + to = stpcpy (to, "bar"); + printf ("%s\\n", buffer); + } +.fi +.SH "CONFORMING TO" +This function is not part of the ANSI or POSIX standards, and is +not customary on Unix systems, but is not a GNU invention either. +Perhaps it comes from MS-DOS. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR bcopy (3), +.BR memccpy (3), +.BR memcpy (3), +.BR memmove (3), +.BR strcpy (3) |
