memcpy

FUNCTION

Header file statement:

#include

Syntax:

void *memcpy

(void *dest, const void *src, size_t count)

The memcpy function copies count bytes of src to dest. If the source and destination overlap,
these functions do not ensure that the original source bytes in the overlapping region are cop-
ied before being overwritten. Use memmove to handle overlapping regions.

Return Value

The memcpy function returns the value of dest.

memmove

FUNCTION

Header file statement:

#include

Syntax:

void *memmove

(void *dest, const void *src, size_t count)

The memmove function copies count characters from the source (src) to the destination
(dest). If some regions of the source area and the destination overlap, the memmove function
ensures that the original source bytes in the overlapping region are copied before being over-
written.

Return Value

The memmove function returns the value of dest.
