strcpy(D3) strcpy(D3)
NAME
strcpy - copy a string
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
char *strcpy (char *sptr1, const char *sptr2)
Arguments
The arguments sptr1 and sptr2 each point to strings, and each
string is an array of characters terminated by a null-
character.
DESCRIPTION
The function strcpy copies the string pointed to by sptr2
(including the terminating null-character) into the string
pointed to by sptr1, stopping after the null-character has
been copied, and returns the string pointed to by sptr1.
The function strcpy alters sptr1 without checking for overflow
of the string pointed to by sptr1. If copying takes place
between strings that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
Return Values
The function strcpy returns the value of sptr1, which points
to the null-terminated result.
USAGE
Character movement is performed differently in different
implementations; thus, overlapping moves may yield surprises.
The <sys/ddi.h> header file declares this function.
Level
Base or Interrupt.
Synchronization Constraints
Does not sleep.
Driver-defined basic locks, read/write locks, and sleep locks
may be held across calls to this function.
