strcpy --
copy a string
Synopsis
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
char *strcpy (char *sptr1, const char *sptr2)
Description
The function strcpy copies
the string pointed to by sptr2
(including the terminating null-character)
into the string pointed to by sptr1,
stopping after the null-character has been copied,
and returns the string pointed to by sptr1.
The function strcpy alters sptr1
without checking for overflow
of the string pointed to by sptr1.
If copying takes place between strings that overlap,
the behavior is undefined.
Arguments
The arguments sptr1 and sptr2
each point to strings,
and each string is an array of characters
that is terminated by a null-character.
Return values
The function strcpy returns the value of sptr1, which points to the null-terminated result.
Usage
Character movement is performed differently in different implementations; thus, overlapping moves may yield surprises.
