NAME

       stpcpy - copy a string returning a pointer to its end

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *stpcpy(char *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 <string.h>

                 int
                 main (void)
                 {
                   char *to = buffer;
                   to = stpcpy (to, "foo");
                   to = stpcpy (to, "bar");
                   printf ("%s\n", buffer);
                 }

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.
