NAME
     SSAStringCpy, SSAStringInit, SSAStringToChar,  SSAStringZero
     - Sun Solstice Enterprise Agent string helper functions

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lssasnmp [ library .. ]
     #include 

     void *SSAStringZero(String *string);


     int SSAStringInit(String *string, uchar_t *chars, int len,
          char *error_label);


     int SSAStringCpy(String *string1, String *string2, char *error_label);


     char *SSAStringToChar(String string);


DESCRIPTION
     The SSAStringCpy() function makes a deep copy of string2  to
     string1.  This  function  assumes that string1 has been pro-
     cessed by the SSAStringZero() function. Memory is  allocated
     inside the string1 and the contents of string2, not just the
     pointer, is copied to the string1. If an  error  is  encoun-
     tered, an error message is stored in the error_label buffer.


     The SSAStringInit() function  copies  the  char  array  from
     chars  to the string instance with the specified length len.
     This function assumes that the string instance has been pro-
     cessed by the SSAStringZero() function or no memory is allo-
     cated inside the string instance. If  an  error  is  encoun-
     tered, an error message is stored in the error_label buffer.


     The SSAStringToChar()  function  returns  a  temporary  char
     array buffer for printing purposes.


     The SSAStringZero() function frees the memory inside of  the
     String instance, but not the string object itself.

RETURN VALUES
     The SSAStringInit() and SSAStringCpy() functions return 0 if
     successful and -1 if error.
