     #include <string.h>

     memcpy(void * restrict dst, const void * restrict src, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
     The memcpy() function copies len bytes from string src to string dst.
     The arguments must not overlap -- behavior if the arguments overlap is

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

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