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

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>

       int bcmp(size_t n;
                const void s1[n], const void s2[n], size_t n);

       void bcopy(size_t n;
                const void src[n], void dest[n], size_t n);

       void bzero(size_t n;
                void s[n], size_t n);

       void *memccpy(size_t n;
                void dest[n], const void src[n], int c, size_t n);

       void *memchr(size_t n;
                const void s[n], int c, size_t n);

       int memcmp(size_t n;
                const void s1[n], const void s2[n], size_t n);

       void *memcpy(size_t n;
                void dest[n], const void src[n], size_t n);

       void *memfrob(size_t n;
                void s[n], size_t n);

       void *memmem(size_t hsize, size_t nsize;
                    const void haystack[hsize], size_t hsize,
                    const void needle[nsize], size_t nsize);

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

       void *memset(size_t n;
                void s[n], int c, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The byte string functions perform operations on strings (byte arrays)
       that are not necessarily null-terminated.  See the individual man pages
       for descriptions of each function.

NOTES
       The functions bcmp() and bcopy() are obsolete.  Use memcmp() and
       memmove() instead.
