NAME
bcopy -- copy byte string
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h>
void
bcopy(const void *src, void *dst, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The bcopy() function copies len bytes from string src to string dst. The
two strings may overlap. If len is zero, no bytes are copied.
This function is obsolete. The functions memcpy(3) and/or memmove(3)
should be used instead. Note that bcopy() takes its src and dst
arguments in the opposite order from these.
SEE ALSO
memccpy(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), strcpy(3), strncpy(3)
STANDARDS
The bcmp() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1''). The
IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (``POSIX.1'') revision marked it as legacy; the IEEE
Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'') revision removed it from the specification.
HISTORY
A bcopy() function appeared in 4.2BSD.
