char *strcpy (dest, src)
char *dest;
char *src;

where:

This macro writes the src string directly to the dest string address beginning at the first byte pointed to by dest. It writes until encountering a NUL character '\0', which designates the end of the src string. It returns a pointer to the dest string.

This macro behaves like the strcpy function in the ANSI C string library.

If the destination string is a debugger array, the macro checks the size of the array before copying. Otherwise this macro does not check to see whether the second string can fit in the first array. Failure to allocate enough space for the first array causes excess characters to overflow into adjacent memory locations. Consider using the strlen macro first to confirm that there is enough length in dest, for the src string.

This example shows how to use strcpy on the command line:

add char buff[50]
ce strcpy(buff,"source string")
printf "%s\n",buff
