NAME
       bstring, bcopy, bcmp, bzero - memory operations

SYNOPSIS
       #include <strings.h>

       void bcopy(const void *s1, void *s2, size_t n);

       int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);

       void bzero(void *s, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The   bcopy(),  bcmp(), and bzero() functions operate as efficiently as
       possible on memory areas (arrays of bytes bounded by a count, not  ter‐
       minated by a null character).  They do not check for  the  overflow  of
       any receiving memory area.  These functions are	similar	 to  the  mem‐
       cpy(),  memcmp(),  and  memset()	 functions described on the memory(3C)
       manual page.

       The bcopy() function copies n bytes from memory area s1 to s2.  Copying
       between objects that overlap will take place correctly.

       The  bcmp()  function  compares	the  first  n  bytes of its arguments,
       returning 0 if they are identical and 1 otherwise. The bcmp()  function
       always returns 0 when n is 0.

       The bzero() function sets the first n bytes in memory area s to 0.

WARNINGS
       The  bcopy()  function  takes  parameters backwards from memcmp().  See
       memory(3C).
