bstring(3) BSD Library Functions Manual bstring(3)
NAME
bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memmove, memset -- byte string operations
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n); void bcopy(const void *s1, void *s2, size_t n); void bzero(void *s, size_t n); #include <string.h> void * memccpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, int c, size_t n); void * memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n); int memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n); void * memcpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, size_t n); void * memmove(void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n); void * memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
These functions operate on variable length strings of bytes. They do not check for terminating null bytes, as the routines listed in string(3) do. See the specific manual pages for more information.
LEGACY SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> The include file <string.h> is necessary and sufficient for all func- tions.
