C string handling refers to a group of functions implementing operations on strings in the C standard library. Various operations, such as copying, concatenation, tokenization and searching are supported.

The only support in the C programming language itself for strings is that the compiler will translate a quoted string constant in the source into a null-terminated string stored in static memory.

However the standard C library provides a large number of functions designed to manipulate these null-terminated strings. These functions are so popular and used so often that they are usually considered part of the definition of C.
