Question

I have a character pointer , char *buf;
I have a array of integers , int console_buffer[256];
I need to copy the console_buffer contents to character buf.
How do I do this? The buf and console_buffer are part of different structures.

Going by your comment,

buf = malloc(256); // 257 if console_buffer may be full without EOF
/* if you want to allocate just as much space as needed, locate the EOF in console_buffer first */
for(int i = 0; i < 256 && console_buffer[i] != -1; ++i){
    buf[i] = (char)console_buffer[i];
}
