copy
====

Copies a vector to another vector.

.. _onemath_blas_copy_description:

.. rubric:: Description

The ``copy`` routines copy one vector to another:

.. math::
      
      y \leftarrow  x

where ``x`` and ``y`` are vectors of n elements.

``copy`` supports the following precisions.

   .. list-table:: 
      :header-rows: 1

      * -  T 
      * -  ``float`` 
      * -  ``double`` 
      * -  ``std::complex<float>`` 
      * -  ``std::complex<double>``

   .. rubric:: Input Parameters

   queue
      The queue where the routine should be executed.

   n
      Number of elements in vector ``x``.

   x
      Buffer holding input vector ``x``. The buffer must be of size at least
      (1 + (``n`` – 1)*abs(``incx``)). See :ref:`matrix-storage` for
      more details.

   incx
      Stride of vector ``x``.

   incy
      Stride of vector ``y``.

   .. rubric:: Output Parameters

   y
      Buffer holding the updated vector ``y``.

   .. rubric:: Throws

   This routine shall throw the following exceptions if the associated condition is detected. An implementation may throw additional implementation-specific exception(s) in case of error conditions not covered here.
