MEMMOVE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual MEMMOVE(3)
NAME
memmove - copy memory area
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
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
The memmove() function returns a pointer to dest.
