NAME

bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memfrob, memmem, memmove, memset - byte string operations  

LIBRARY

Standard C library (libc,~-lc)  

SYNOPSIS

#include <string.h>
int bcmp(size_t n;
         const void s1[n], const void s2[n], size_t n);
void bcopy(size_t n;
         const void src[n], void dest[n], size_t n);
void bzero(size_t n;
         void s[n], size_t n);
void *memccpy(size_t n;
         void dest[n], const void src[n], int c, size_t n);
void *memchr(size_t n;
         const void s[n], int c, size_t n);
int memcmp(size_t n;
         const void s1[n], const void s2[n], size_t n);
void *memcpy(size_t n;
         void dest[n], const void src[n], size_t n);
void *memfrob(size_t n;
         void s[n], size_t n);
void *memmem(size_t hsize, size_t nsize;
             const void haystack[hsize], size_t hsize,
             const void needle[nsize], size_t nsize);
void *memmove(size_t n;
         void dest[n], const void src[n], size_t n);
void *memset(size_t n;
         void s[n], int c, size_t n);

 

DESCRIPTION

The byte string functions perform operations on strings (byte arrays) that are not necessarily nul-terminated. See the individual man pages for descriptions of each function.  

NOTES

The functions bcmp() and bcopy() are obsolete. Use memcmp() and memmove() instead.
