DESCRIPTION

     The strcpy() function copies the string pointed  to  be  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.

     The strncpy() function is similar, except that not more than
     n  bytes  of  src are copied. Thus, if there is no null byte
     among the first n bytes of src, the result wil not be  null-
     terminated.

     In the case where the length of src is less than that of  n,
     the remainder of dest will be padded with nulls.

RETURN VALUE

     The strcpy() and strncpy() functions return a pointer to the
     destination string dest.

BUGS

     If the destination string of a strcpy() is not large  enough
     (that  is,  if the programmer was stupid/lazy, and failed to
     check the size before copying) then anything  might  happen.
     Overflowing  fixed  length  strings  is  a favourite cracker
     technique.
