STRINGS(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						STRINGS(3)

NAME

     bcmp, bcopy, bzero, ffs, index, rindex, strcasecmp, strncasecmp -- string operations

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <strings.h>

     int
     bcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);

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

     void
     bzero(void *b, size_t len);

     int
     ffs(int value);

     char *
     index(const char *s, int c);

     char *
     rindex(const char *s, int c);

     int
     strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);

     int
     strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions all live in the strings.h header file.  Except for ffs(), they operate on strings.  index(), rindex(), and strcasecmp() need
     nul-terminated strings.

     See the specific manual pages for more information.

     See string(3) for string functions that follow ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'') or ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99''), bstring(3) for functions
     that operate on strings that are not nul-terminated, and bitstring(3) for bit-string manipulation macros.

NAME

     bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memmove, memset -- byte string operations

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <string.h>

     int
     bcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);

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

     void
     bzero(void *b, size_t len);

     void *
     memchr(const void *b, int c, size_t len);

     int
     memcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);

     void *
     memccpy(void *dst, const void *src, int c, size_t len);

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

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

     void *
     memset(void *b, int c, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions operate on variable length strings of bytes.  They do not check for terminating null bytes as the routines listed in
     string(3) do.

     See the specific manual pages for more information.

SEE ALSO

     bcmp(3), bcopy(3), bzero(3), memccpy(3), memchr(3), memcmp(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), memset(3)

STANDARDS

     The functions memchr(), memcmp(), memcpy(), memmove(), and memset() conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').

HISTORY

     The functions bzero() and memccpy() appeared in 4.3BSD; the functions bcmp(), bcopy(), appeared in 4.2BSD.
