Yep, that looks good. I guess it would return a pointer to the
terminating '\0' too :-) However I have to note that it is a bit less
flexible than the basic cpycat as you cannot do things like:
cpycat(buf,foo);
if (condition1)
cpycat(buffer,bar);
if (condition2)
cpycat(buffer,stuff);
cpycat(buffer,more);
But yes, any of these would have been better than the braindead strcpy
and strcat implementations we have in C libraries.
