# stralloc\_copym(3)

copy string(s) to a stralloc

## NAME

stralloc\_copym - copy string(s) to a stralloc

## SYNTAX

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

int **stralloc\_copym**(stralloc\* *sa*,const char\* *s*, ...);

## DESCRIPTION

stralloc\_copym copies \\0-terminated strings from *s*... to *sa*, allocating space if necessary, and returns 1.  If there is data in the *sa*, it is cleared first.

If it runs out of memory, stralloc\_copym returns 0.  At that point, it may already have copied a few of the strings to sa.

## RETURN VALUE

1 for success, 0 on memory allocation failure.
