BSTRING(3)              NetBSD Library Functions Manual             BSTRING(3)


NAME

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


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <string.h>

     int
     bcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);

     void
     bcopy(const void *src, void *dst, size_t len);

     void
     bzero(void *b, size_t len);

     void *
     memchr(const void *b, int c, size_t len);

     int
     memcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);

     void *
     memccpy(void *dst, const void *src, int c, size_t len);

     void *
     memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);

     void *
     memmove(void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);

     void *
     memset(void *b, int c, size_t len);


DESCRIPTION

     These functions operate on variable length strings of bytes.  They do not
     check for terminating nul bytes as the routines listed in string(3) do.

     See the specific manual pages for more information.


SEE ALSO

STANDARDS

     The functions memchr(), memcmp(), memcpy(), memmove(), and memset() con-
     form to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'').


HISTORY

     The functions bzero() and memccpy() appeared in 4.3BSD; the functions
     bcmp(), bcopy(), appeared in 4.2BSD.
