MEMMOVE(3)                    Linux Programmer's Manual                    MEMMOVE(3)

NAME         top

       memmove - copy memory area

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

       The memmove() function returns a pointer to dest.
