NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     bstring - byte string operations

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

     See the specific manual pages for more information.
