strccpy(3GEN) String Pattern-Matching Library Functions strccpy(3GEN)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 out‐
put. The output argument must point to a space big enough to accommo‐
date 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 charac‐
ter 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
Example 1: Example of expanding and compressing escape codes.
/* 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 );

When compiling multi-thread applications, the _REENTRANT flag must be
defined on the compile line. This flag should only be used in multi-
thread applications.
