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.
