strccpy(3G)strccpy(3G)NAME
strccpy: streadd, strcadd, strecpy - copy strings, compressing or
expanding escape codes
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file ... -lgen [library ...]
#include <libgen.h>
char *strccpy (char *output, const char *input);
char *strcadd (char *output, const char *input);
char *strecpy (char *output, const char *input, const char
*exceptions);
char *streadd (char *output, const char *input, const char
*exceptions);
DESCRIPTIONstrccpy copies the input string, up to a null byte, to the output string,
compressing the C-language escape sequences (for example, \n, \001) to
the equivalent character. A null byte is appended to the output. The
output argument must point to a space big enough to accommodate the
result. If it is as big as the space pointed to by input it is
guaranteed to be big enough. strccpy returns the output argument.
strcadd is identical to strccpy, except that it returns the pointer to
the null byte that terminates the output.
strecpy copies the input string, up to a null byte, to the output string,
expanding non-graphic characters to their equivalent C-language escape
sequences (for example, \n, \001). The output argument must point to a
space big enough to accommodate the result; four times the space pointed
to by input is guaranteed to be big enough (each character could become \
and 3 digits). Characters in the exceptions string are not expanded.
The exceptions argument may be zero, meaning all non-graphic characters
are expanded. strecpy returns the output argument
streadd is identical to strecpy, except that it returns the pointer to
the null byte that terminates the output.
EXAMPLES
/* expand all but newline and tab */
strecpy( output, input, "\n\t" );
/* concatenate and compress several strings */
cp = strcadd( output, input1 );
cp = strcadd( cp, input2 );
cp = strcadd( cp, input3 );
