MEMCCPY(3P)               POSIX Programmer's Manual              MEMCCPY(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       memccpy — copy bytes in memory

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <string.h>
       void *memccpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2,
           int c, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The memccpy() function shall copy bytes from memory area s2 into s1,
       stopping after the first occurrence of byte c (converted to an
       unsigned char) is copied, or after n bytes are copied, whichever
       comes first. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the
       behavior is undefined.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The memccpy() function shall return a pointer to the byte after the
       copy of c in s1, or a null pointer if c was not found in the first n
       bytes of s2.

ERRORS         top

       No errors are defined.
       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES         top

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE         top

       The memccpy() function does not check for the overflow of the
       receiving memory area.

RATIONALE         top

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       None.
