std::char_traits<CharT>::copy

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 characters from the character string pointed to by src to the character string pointed to by dest.

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

The behavior is undefined if the character ranges [destdest + count) and [srcsrc + count) overlap.

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

Throws nothing.

Complexity

Linear.
