MEMCCPY(3)                 Library Functions Manual                 MEMCCPY(3)

NAME
     memccpy - copy string until character found

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.h>

     void *
     memccpy(void *dst, const void *src, int c, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
     The memccpy() function copies bytes from string src to string dst.  If
     the character c (as converted to an unsigned char) occurs in the string
     src, the copy stops and a pointer to the byte after the copy of c in the
     string dst is returned.  Otherwise, len bytes are copied, and a null
     pointer is returned.

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

STANDARDS
     memccpy conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1 ("POSIX.1") and System V Interface
     Definition, Fourth Edition ("SVID4").

HISTORY
     The memccpy() function first appeared in 4.3BSD-Tahoe.
