NAME
       memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memset, strchr, strrchr, tempnam, tmpfile, tmpnam - System V compatibility routines

SYNOPSIS
       char *memccpy(from, to, ch, count)
       char *from, *to;
       int ch, count;

       char *memchr(str, ch, count)
       char *str;
       int ch, count;

       int memcmp(str1, str2, count)
       char *str1, *str2;
       int count;

       char *memcpy(from, to, count)
       char *from, to;
       int count;

       char *memset(str, ch, count)
       char *str;
       int ch, count;

       char *strchr(str, ch);
       char *str;
       int ch;

       char *tempnam(tmpdir, prefix)
       char *tmpdir, *prefix;

       char *tmpfile()

       char *tmpnam(str)
       char *str;

COMMENT
       The #defines P_tmpdir and L_tmpnam, used by the routines tempnam, tmpfile, and tmpnam are not available in <stdio.h>.  If the code requires
       them, just use:

       #include <sys/param.h>
       #define	 P_tmpdir  "/usr/tmp" #define	L_tmpnam  MAXPATHLEN

       Also, note that the caveat in the System V manual page that these functions can start recycling previously used names  is  untrue  in  this
       system.

DESCRIPTION
       The above routines are available and behave as in System V.

       strchr() and strrchr() are simply an alternate entry points into index() and rindex() respectively.
