strcpy(3)                           CLIX                           strcpy(3)



  NAME

    strcpy - Copies a string

  LIBRARY

    Standard C Library (libc.a)

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <string.h>

    char *strcpy(
      char * string1 ,
      char * string2 );

  PARAMETERS

    string1
           A pointer to a character string

    string2
           A pointer to a character string

  DESCRIPTION

    The strcpy() function copies the string pointed to by the string2
    parameter, including the terminating null character, to the location
    pointed to by the string1 parameter.  When operating on overlapping
    strings, the behavior of this function is unreliable.

  EXAMPLES

    #include <string.h>

    main()
    {
       char string1[20];
       char *string2 = "hello world!";

       /* copy "hello world!" into string1 */
       strcpy (string1, string2);
    }


  CAUTIONS

    When operating on overlapping strings, the behavior of this function is
    unreliable.
