NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     memcpy - copy bytes

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <string.h>

     void *
     memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The memcpy() function copies len bytes from  buffer  src  to
buffer dst.

     The memcpy() function returns the original value of dst.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     bcopy(3), memccpy(3), memmove(3), strcpy(3), strlcpy(3)

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The  memcpy()  function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI
C'').

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     In  this  implementation  memcpy()  is   implemented   using
bcopy(3), and therefore
  the  buffers  may  overlap.  On other systems, copying
overlapping
     buffers may produce surprises.  A simpler solution is to not
use
     memcpy().
