strccpy(S)

Syntax

   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

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 );
   cp = strcadd( cp, input3 );
