lstrcpy info Overview Group

The lstrcpy function copies a string to a buffer.

LPTSTR lstrcpy(

LPTSTR lpString1,

// address of buffer

LPCTSTR lpString2

// address of string to copy

);

Parameters

lpString1: Points to a buffer to receive the contents of the string pointed to by the lpString2 parameter. The buffer must be large enough to contain the string, including the terminating null character.
lpString2: Points to the null-terminated string to be copied.

If the function succeeds, the return value is a pointer to the buffer.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

With a double-byte character set (DBCS) version of Windows, this function can be used to copy a DBCS string.
