# stralloc\_copy(3diet)

copy data into a stralloc

## NAME

stralloc\_copy - copy data into a stralloc

## SYNTAX

**#include \<stralloc.h\>**

int **stralloc\_copy**(stralloc\* *sato*,stralloc\* *safrom*);

## DESCRIPTION

stralloc\_copy copies the string stored in *safrom* into *sa*. It is the same as **stralloc\_copyb**(&*sato*, *safrom*.s, *safrom*.len). *safrom* must already be allocated.

The data that *sa* previously contained is overwritten and truncated.

If stralloc\_copy has trouble allocating memory, it returns 0.  Otherwise it returns 1.

## RETURN VALUE

1 for success, 0 on memory allocation failure.
