NAME         top

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

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <string.h>

       int bcmp(const void s1[.n], const void s2[.n], size_t n);

       void bcopy(const void src[.n], void dest[.n], size_t n);

       void bzero(void s[.n], size_t n);

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

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

       int memcmp(const void s1[.n], const void s2[.n], size_t n);

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

       void *memfrob(void s[.n], size_t n);

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

       The functions bcmp() and bcopy() are obsolete.  Use memcmp() and
       memmove() instead.
