memcpy - copy bytes in memory SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> void *memcpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The memcpy() function shall copy n bytes from the object pointed to by s2 into the object pointed to by s1. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined. RETURN VALUE
The memcpy() function shall return s1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The memcpy() function does not check for the overflow of the receiving memory area. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO
