The problem with such a question is that it betrays a lack of training in
the C language.  Rather than asking out-of-context detailed technical
questions like this, you should be concerned with how you can learn to
program effectively in C.  Start with Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C
Programming Language", second edition if possible, which explains all
you need to know about handling strings in C.
