BSTRING(3)               BSD Library Functions Manual               BSTRING(3)

NAME
     bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memmove, memset --byte -byte
     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.
