BSTRING(3)

NAME
bstring - byte string operations

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

See the specific manual pages for more information.

SEE ALSO
bcmp(3), bcopy(3), bzero(3), memccpy(3), memchr(3), memcmp(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), memset(3)

STANDARDS
The functions memchr(), memcmp(), memcpy(), memmove(), and memset() conform to ansiC.

HISTORY
The bcmp(), bcopy(), and bzero() functions first appeared in 4.2BSD. The memchr(), memcmp(), memccpy(), memcpy(), and memset() functions first appeared in AT&T UNIX and were reimplemented for 4.3BSD Tahoe. The memmove() function first appeared in 4.3BSD Reno.
