+
+UCX provides some utilities for routine tasks.
+
+The most useful utilities are the *stream copy* functions, which provide a simple way to copy all - or a
+bounded amount of - data from one stream to another. Since the read/write functions of a UCX buffer are
+fully compatible with stream read/write functions, you can easily transfer data from file or network streams to
+a UCX buffer or vice-versa.
+
+The following example shows, how easy it is to read the contents of a file into a buffer:
+```c
+FILE *inputfile = fopen(infilename, "r");
+if (inputfile) {
+    CxBuffer fbuf;
+    cxBufferInit(&fbuf, NULL, 4096, NULL, CX_BUFFER_AUTO_EXTEND);
+    cx_stream_copy(inputfile, &fbuf,
+                   (cx_read_func) fread,
+                   cxBufferWriteFunc);
+    fclose(inputfile);
+    
+    // ... do something meaningful with the contents ...
+    
+    cxBufferDestroy(&fbuf);
+} else {
+    perror("Error opening input file");
+    if (fout != stdout) {
+        fclose(fout);
+    }
+}
+```
