CONFORMING TO         top

       4.3BSD.  This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in
       POSIX.1-2001): use memcpy(3) or memmove(3) in new programs.  Note
       that the first two arguments are interchanged for memcpy(3) and
       memmove(3).  POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of bcopy().
