mempcpy(3) [v7 man page]
MEMPCPY(3) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMPCPY(3) NAME
mempcpy, wmempcpy - copy memory area SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <string.h> void *mempcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n); #define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wmempcpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The mempcpy() function is nearly identical to the memcpy(3) function. It copies n bytes from the object beginning at src into the object pointed to by dest. But instead of returning the value of dest it returns a pointer to the byte following the last written byte. This function is useful in situations where a number of objects shall be copied to consecutive memory positions. The wmempcpy() function is identical but takes wchar_t type arguments and copies n wide characters. RETURN VALUE
dest + n. VERSIONS
mempcpy() first appeared in glibc in version 2.1. ATTRIBUTES
