STRCPY(3)		    BSD Programmer's Manual		     STRCPY(3)

NAME
     strcpy - copy strings

SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.h>

     char *
     strcpy(char *dst, const char *src);

     char *
     strncpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
     The strcpy() function copies the null-terminated string src to dst
     (including the terminating `\0' character).

     The strncpy() function copies not more than len characters into the
     string dst from the null-terminated string src, filling with `\0' charac-
     ters if src is less than len characters long, and not null terminating
     dst if src is len or more characters long.

     No bounds checking is done by either function, the string dst must have
     sufficient space to hold the result.

RETURN VALUES
     The strcpy() and strncpy() functions return dst.

EXAMPLES
     The following sets ``chararray'' to ``abc\0\0\0'':

	   (void)strncpy(chararray, "abc", 6).

     The following sets ``chararray'' to ``abcdef'':

	   (void)strncpy(chararray, "abcdefgh", 6);

SEE ALSO
     bcopy(3),	memccpy(3),  memcpy(3),	 memmove(3)

STANDARDS
     The strcpy() and strncpy() functions conform to ANSI C X3.159-1989
     (``ANSI C '').
