Either the strcpy() or strncpy() function can be used to copy a string and a null character to a destination buffer, provided there is enough space. Care must be taken to ensure that the destination buffer is large enough to hold the string to be copied and the NULL null byte to prevent errors such as data truncation and buffer overflow.
