- strcpy, strcpy_s - cppreference. com
1) Copies the null-terminated byte string pointed to by src, including the null terminator, to the character array whose first element is pointed to by dest The behavior is undefined if the dest array is not large enough The behavior is undefined if the strings overlap
- strcpy() in C - GeeksforGeeks
strcpy is used to copy a string from one location to another in C It is simple but lacks bounds checking, which can lead to buffer overflow Always ensure the destination array has enough space or consider using strncpy for safer string copying
- c - Why should you use strncpy instead of strcpy? - Stack . . .
For a "safer strcpy()", you are better off using strncat() like so: if (dest_size > 0) { dest[0] = '\0'; strncat(dest, source, dest_size - 1); } That will always nul-terminate the result, and won't copy more than necessary
