mempcpy(3)              Library Functions Manual              mempcpy(3)

NAME         top

       mempcpy, wmempcpy  - copy memory area

LIBRARY         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

       dest + n.
