Re: memcpy junk at beginning of buffer

Im trying to memcpy a buffer from a filled in simple structure.
When I memcpy and then print the resulting buffer, I see 7 locations
that have junk before my data starts.  My data structure is:

struct command_pkt {
    char    command_num[3];
    char    command[100];
};

typedef command_pkt COMMAND;

Huh? There's a type called `struct command_pkt' but not one (that *we* can see, anyway) called `command_pkt'.

This is why we say POST REAL CODE (cut'n'paste).
