MEMMOVE(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual MEMMOVE(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.
memmove — copy bytes in memory with overlapping areas
#include <string.h>
void *memmove(void *s1, const void *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 memmove() function shall copy n bytes from the object pointed to
by s2 into the object pointed to by s1. Copying takes place as if
the n bytes from the object pointed to by s2 are first copied into a
temporary array of n bytes that does not overlap the objects pointed
to by s1 and s2, and then the n bytes from the temporary array are
copied into the object pointed to by s1.
The memmove() function shall return s1; no return value is reserved
to indicate an error.
No errors are defined.
