NAME
     memcpy -- copy memory area

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.h>

     void *
     memcpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
     The memcpy() function copies n bytes from memory area s2 to memory area s1.  If s1 and s2 overlap,
     behavior is undefined.  Applications in which s1 and s2 might overlap should use memmove(3) instead.

RETURN VALUES
     The memcpy() function returns the original value of s1.

SEE ALSO
     bcopy(3), memccpy(3), memmove(3), strcpy(3)

STANDARDS
     The memcpy() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').
