NAME
     strccpy: streadd, strcadd, strecpy - copy strings, compress-
     ing 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);

DESCRIPTION
     strccpy 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 );
