!!NAME


stpcpy - copy a string returning a pointer to its end
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include
__''dest''__, const char *__''src''__);
__
!!DESCRIPTION


The __stpcpy()__ function copies the string pointed to by
''src'' (including the terminating `0' character) to the
array pointed to by ''dest''. The strings may not
overlap, and the destination string ''dest'' must be
large enough to receive the copy.
!!RETURN VALUE


__stpcpy()__ returns a pointer to the __end__ of the
string ''dest'' (that is, the address of the terminating
null character) rather than the beginning.
!!EXAMPLE


For example, this program uses __stpcpy__ to concatenate
__foo__ and __bar__ to produce __foobar__, which it
then prints.


#include
!!CONFORMING TO


This function is not part of the ANSI or POSIX standards,
and is not customary on Unix systems, but is not a GNU
invention either. Perhaps it comes from MS-DOS.
