mempcpy(3) Library Functions Manual mempcpy(3)NAME top
mempcpy, wmempcpy - copy memory areaLIBRARY top
Standard C library (libc, -lc)SYNOPSIS top
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <string.h> void *mempcpy(void dest[restrict .n], const void src[restrict .n], size_t n); #define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <wchar.h> wchar_t *wmempcpy(wchar_t dest[restrict .n], const wchar_t src[restrict .n], size_t n);DESCRIPTION top
The mempcpy() function is nearly identical to the memcpy(3) function. It copies n bytes from the object beginning at src into the object pointed to by dest. But instead of returning the value of dest it returns a pointer to the byte following the last written byte. This function is useful in situations where a number of objects shall be copied to consecutive memory positions. The wmempcpy() function is identical but takes wchar_t type arguments and copies n wide characters.RETURN VALUE top
