std::char_traits<CharT>::copy

< cpp‎ | string‎ | char traits
static char_type* copy( char_type* dest, const char_type* src, std::size_t count );
(until C++20)
static constexpr char_type* copy( char_type* dest, const char_type* src, std::size_t count );
(since C++20)

Copies count character from character string pointed to by src to character string pointed to by dest.

Formally, for each i in [0, count), performs assign(src[i], dest[i]).

The behavior is undefined if copied character ranges overlap, i.e. src is in [dest, dest + count).

Parameters

dest - pointer to a character string to copy to
src - pointer to a character string to copy from
count - the number of characters to copy

Return value

dest

Exceptions

(none)

Complexity

Linear.
