Fcpy, Fcpy32(3fml)

Name

Fcpy(), Fcpy32() - copy source to destination buffer

Synopsis

#include <stdio.h> 
#include "fml.h" 
int 
Fcpy(FBFR *dest, FBFR *src) 
#include "fml32.h" 
int 
Fcpy32(FBFR32 *dest, FBFR32 *src)

Description

Fcpy() is used to copy the contents of one fielded buffer to another fielded buffer. dest and src are pointers to the destination and source fielded buffers respectively. Fcpy() expects the destination to be a fielded buffer, and thus can check that it is large enough to accommodate the data from the source buffer.

For values of type FLD_PTR, Fcpy32() copies the buffer pointer. The application programmer must manage the reallocation and freeing of buffers when the associated pointer is copied.

Fcpy32() is used with 32-bit FML.

A thread in a multithreaded application may issue a call to Fcpy() or Fcpy32() while running in any context state, including TPINVALIDCONTEXT.

Return Values

This function returns -1 on error and sets Ferror to indicate the error condition.

Errors

Under the following conditions, Fcpy() fails and sets Ferror to:
