PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
memcpy - copy bytes in memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> void *memcpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The memcpy() function shall copy n bytes from the object pointed to by s2 into the object pointed to by s1. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The memcpy() function shall return s1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
