bcopy - copy byte sequence
SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h>
void bcopy(const void *src, void *dest, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The bcopy() function copies n bytes from src to dest. The result is correct, even when both areas overlap.
RETURN VALUE
None.
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD. This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001): use memcpy(3) or memmove(3) in new programs. Note that the first
two arguments are interchanged for memcpy(3) and memmove(3). POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of bcopy().

Besides syntax-related issues, is there anything else I should be aware of when using memmove() ? If misued, can it create runtime errors ? (3 Replies)
