Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The strcpy function copies strSource , including the ending null terminator, to strDestination , and returns a pointer to strDestination .
wcscpy is the wide character version of strcpy ; its arguments and return are wide-character strings.
Supported on Windows platforms only, _mbscpy is the multibyte version of strcpy , supporting multibyte strings for the arguments and return.
_tcscpy and _ftcscpy are Windows-only Generic versions of the function.
Supported on Windows platforms only, strcpy_s , wcscpy_s , _mbscpy_s , and _tcscpy_s
are secure versions of their counterparts. For details, click

I18n Issues
Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support.
Recommended Replacements*
On Windows platforms, a more secure string function should be used.
On ANSI platforms, call the safer strncpy function, if possible.
These are shown as the first choices in the following table:
*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
