NAME

     bcmp,  bcopy,  bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memfrob, memmem,
     memmove, memset - byte string operations

SYNOPSIS

     #include <string.h>

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

     void bcopy(const void *src, void *dest, size_t n);

     void bzero(void *s, size_t n);

     void *memccpy(void *dest, const void *src, int c, size_t n);

     void *memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n);

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

     void *memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

     void *memfrob(void *s, size_t n);

     void *memmem(const void *needle, size_t needlelen,
                  const void *haystack, size_t haystacklen);

     void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

     void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

     The byte string functions perform operations on strings  (byte  arrays)
     that are not necessarily null-terminated.  See the individual man pages
     for descriptions of each function.

NOTES

     The functions bcmp(), bcopy() and bzero() are obsolete.  Use  memcmp(),
     memcpy() and memset() instead.
