Summary0001787: strcpy summary says it returns a pointer to the end of the result
DescriptionThe NAME for strcpy says:

"stpcpy, strcpy - copy a string and return a pointer to the end of the result"

This is correct for stpcpy, but strcpy returns a pointer to the start of the result.

Desired ActionFix the description to be valid for both stpcpy and strcpy.

In Issue 6 and earlier the NAME section was simply:
strcpy - copy a string
It was "broken" when stpcpy() was added in Issue 7. I suggest reverting to the original text, i.e. change the NAME section to:
stpcpy, strcpy - copy a string
