Two functions, v_stcpy() and v_vstcpy(), are available to copy characters and character-attribute pairs to or from a window. These functions are low-level functions and do not observe the settings of the window write options, such as word wrap and virtual cursor advance. Because they do not handle this type of processing, they are faster than the higher-level functions provided to write strings.
The functions described in this section are primarily intended for applications, like editing and highlighting, where information is first read from a window, stored or modified, and then later returned to the window.
