strcpy - copy a string
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME strcpy - copy a string SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> char *strcpy (char *sptr1, const char *sptr2) Arguments The arguments sptr1 and sptr2 each point to strings, and each string is an array of characters terminated by a null-character. 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. 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. Level Base or Interrupt. Synchronization Constraints Does not sleep. Driver-defined basic locks, read/write locks, and sleep locks may be held across calls to this function. REFERENCES bcopy(D3)
