MEMCPY(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual MEMCPY(3P)
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.
memcpy — copy bytes in memory
#include <string.h>
void *memcpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, size_t n);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
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.
The memcpy() function shall return s1; no return value is reserved to
indicate an error.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
The memcpy() function does not check for the overflow of the
receiving memory area.
None.
None.
