In dpANS Section 4.11.2.3 the description is:

The |strcpy| function copies the string pointed to by |s2|
(including the terminating null character) into the array
pointed to by |s1|.  If copying takes place between objects that
overlap, the behavior is undefined.

The opinions expressed above are mine (but I'm willing to share.)
