memmove(3)


NAME

   memmove - copy memory area

SYNOPSIS

   #include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

   The  memmove()  function  copies n bytes from memory area src to memory
   area dest.  The memory areas may overlap: copying takes place as though
   the  bytes in src are first copied into a temporary array that does not
   overlap src or dest, and the bytes are then copied from  the  temporary
   array to dest.

RETURN VALUE

   The memmove() function returns a pointer to dest.
