NAME
bcopy —
copy byte string
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/systm.h>
void
bcopy(
const void
*src,
void *dst,
size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The
bcopy() interface is obsolete. Do not add new code using it.
It will soon be purged. Use
memcpy(9) instead. (The
bcopy() function is now a macro for
memcpy(9).)
The
bcopy() function copies
len bytes
from string
src to string
dst.
Unlike
bcopy(3) the two strings must not
overlap!
In the traditional
BSD kernel, overlapping copies were
handled by the now-purged
ovbcopy() function. If you need to
copy overlapping data, see
memmove(9).
If
len is zero, no bytes are copied.
