bstring - byte string operations

NAME LIBRARY SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION NOTES SEE ALSO

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.
