NAME

     memcpy -- copy byte string

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUES

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

SEE ALSO

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

STANDARDS

     The memcpy() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').

BUGS

     In this implementation memcpy() is implemented using bcopy(3), and therefore the strings may overlap.  On other systems, copying overlapping
     strings may produce surprises.  Programs intended to be portable should use memmove(3) when src and dst may overlap.
