|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn bcopy
|
|
|
|
|
interface is obsolete.
|
|
|
|
|
Do not add new code using it.
|
|
|
|
|
It will soon be purged.
|
|
|
|
|
Use
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr memcpy 9
|
|
|
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
|
(The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn bcopy
|
|
|
|
|
function is now a macro for
|
|
|

|
2001-07-07 09:05:17 +04:00
|
|
|
.Xr bcopy 3
|
|
|
|
|
the two strings must not overlap!
|
|
|
|
|
.Ef
|
|
|
|
|
In the traditional
|
|
|
|
|
.Bx
|
|
|
|
|
kernel, overlapping copies were handled by the now-purged
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ovbcopy
|
2002-10-14 17:43:14 +04:00
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to copy overlapping data, see
|
2001-07-07 09:05:17 +04:00
|
|
|
.Xr memmove 9 .
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
|
|
|
is zero, no bytes are copied.
