NAME
bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memfrob, memmem,
memmove, memset - byte string operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);
void bcopy(const void *src, void *dest, size_t n);
void bzero(void *s, size_t n);
void *memccpy(void *dest, const void *src, 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 *dest, const void *src, size_t n);
void *memfrob(void *s, size_t n);
void *memmem(const void *haystack, size_t haystacklen,
const void *needle, size_t needlelen);
void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);
void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The byte string functions perform operations on strings (byte arrays)
that are not necessarily null-terminated.
See the individual man pages
for descriptions of each function.
NOTES
The functions
bcmp(),
bcopy(),
and
bzero()
are obsolete.
Use
memcmp(),
memcpy(),
and
memset()
instead.
