mempcpy

NAME

mempcpy, wmempcpy - copy memory area

SYNOPSIS

#define _GNU_SOURCE

#include <string.h> I void *mempcpy(void * dest , const void * src , size_t n ); #define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <wchar.h> I wchar_t *wmempcpy(wchar_t * dest , const wchar_t * src , size_t n );

DESCRIPTION

The R 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 R 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 R wmempcpy () function is identical but takes wchar_t type arguments and copies n wide characters.

RETURN VALUE

dest + n .

CONFORMING TO

This function is a GNU extension.

EXAMPLE

void *
combine(void *o1, size_t s1, void *o2, size_t s2)
{
    void *result = malloc(s1 + s2);
    if (result != NULL)
        mempcpy(mempcpy(result, o1, s1), o2, s2);
    return result;
}
