NAME

bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memfrob, memmem, memmove, memset - byte string operations

SYNOPSIS

  #include <string.h>

  int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);

  void bcopy(const void *src, void *dest, size_t n);

  void bzero(void *s, size_t n);

  void *memccpy(void *dest, const void *src, int c, size_t n);

  void *memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);

  int memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);

  void *memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

  void *memfrob(void *s, size_t n);

  void *memmem(const void *haystack, size_t haystacklen,
   const void *needle, size_t needlelen);

  void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

  void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

The byte string functions perform operations on strings (byte arrays) that are not necessarily null-terminated. See the individual man pages for descriptions of each function.

NOTES

The functions *bcmp*(), *bcopy*(), and *bzero*() are obsolete. Use *memcmp*(), *memcpy*(), and *memset*() instead.

SEE ALSO

*bcmp*(3), *bcopy*(3), *bzero*(3), *memccpy*(3), *memchr*(3), *memcmp*(3), *memcpy*(3), *memfrob*(3), *memmem*(3), *memmove*(3), *memset*(3), *string*(3)
