NAME

       strcpy - General: Copies a null-terminated character string

SYNOPSIS

       char * strcpy(
	       char *s1,
	       char *s2 );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  a pointer to a buffer large enough to hold the string s2.  Specifies a pointer to a string (an array of characters terminated by
       a null character).

DESCRIPTION

       The strcpy routine copies string s2 to buffer s1. The routine stops copying after it copies a null character. Note that the character  size
       is 1 byte.

RETURN VALUES

       The routine returns a pointer to the location following the end of the destination buffer, s1.

NAME

       strncpy - General: Copies a null-terminated character string with a specified limit

SYNOPSIS

       char * strncpy(
	       char *s1,
	       char *s2,
	       int n );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  a pointer to a buffer of at least n bytes.  Specifies a pointer to a string (an array of characters terminated by a null charac-
       ter).  Specifies the number of characters to be copied.

DESCRIPTION

       The strncpy routine copies string s2 to buffer s1. The routine stops copying after it copies a null character or  n  characters,  whichever
       comes first.  If the length of s2 as determined by the null character is less than n, the routine pads s1 with null characters.

RETURN VALUES

       The  strncpy  routine  returns a pointer to /NULL at the end of the first string (or to the location following the last copied character if
       there is no NULL). The copied string will not be null terminated if the length of s2 is n characters or more.
