NAME
bcopy - memory operations (LEGACY) SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> void bcopy(const void *s1, void *s2, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The bcopy() function shall copy n bytes from the area pointed to by s1 to the area pointed to by s2. The bytes are copied correctly even if the area pointed to by s1 overlaps the area pointed to by s2. RETURN VALUE
The bcopy() function shall not return a value. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The memmove() function is preferred over this function. The following are approximately equivalent (note the order of the arguments): bcopy(s1,s2,n) ~= memmove(s2,s1,n) For maximum portability, it is recommended to replace the function call to bcopy() as follows: #define bcopy(b1,b2,len) (memmove((b2), (b1), (len)), (void) 0) RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
This function may be withdrawn in a future version. SEE ALSO

NAME
bcmp - memory operations (LEGACY) SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The bcmp() function shall compare the first n bytes of the area pointed to by s1 with the area pointed to by s2. RETURN VALUE
The bcmp() function shall return 0 if s1 and s2 are identical; otherwise, it shall return non-zero. Both areas are assumed to be n bytes long. If the value of n is 0, bcmp() shall return 0. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The memcmp() function is preferred over this function. For maximum portability, it is recommended to replace the function call to bcmp() as follows: #define bcmp(b1,b2,len) memcmp((b1), (b2), (size_t)(len)) RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
This function may be withdrawn in a future version. SEE ALSO
