Hi ,
in C, How do I copy a contents of a Structure pointer to a Structure
Variable. e.g
struct A var1;
struct A *Var2;

I want to copy contents of Structure pointed to by Var2 to a Structure var1.
Is there any standard library function to do the same?

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks Jochen,
var1=*var2 will copy the contents of structure pointed
to by var2 into var1. One more thing I wanted to ask was how do I copy the
contents of the structure var1 into the structure pointed to by var2?
var2=&var1 will make var2 point to the var1 struture.

thanks again,
