NAME
       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().
