Message-ID: <7310@elsie.UUCP> Date: Mon, 5-Jan-87 19:25:55 EST Article-I.D.: elsie.7310 Posted: Mon Jan 5 19:25:55 1987 Date-Received: Mon, 5-Jan-87 23:37:06 EST Organization: NIH-LEC, Bethesda, MD Lines: 13 Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about systems where the function strcpy does not return a "char *". (The question came up as a result of a "lint -p" command on a 4.3BSD system griping that strcpy's value was used but that none was returned.) No one who responded knew of a system where strcpy fails to return its first argument. -- UNIX is a registered trademark of AT&T.
