the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
memccpy - copy bytes in memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
void *memccpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict
s2,
int c, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The memccpy() function shall copy bytes from memory area s2
into s1, stopping after the first occurrence of
byte c (converted to an unsigned char) is copied, or after
n bytes are copied, whichever comes first. If
copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is
undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The memccpy() function shall return a pointer to the byte after
the copy of c in s1, or a null pointer if
c was not found in the first n bytes of s2.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
The memccpy() function does not check for the overflow of the
receiving memory area.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
