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() and strncpy() functions copy the string src to dst (includ-
ing the terminating `\0' character).
The strncpy() copies not more than len characters into dst, appending
`\0' characters if src is less than len characters long, and not termi-
nating dst if src is more than len characters long.
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);
