memmove()

move memory block 

Function

SYNOPSIS

#include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

The memmove() function operates as efficiently as possible on memory areas. It does not check for overflow of any receiving memory area. Specifically, memmove() copies n bytes from memory areas s2 to s1. It returns s1. If s1 and s2 overlap, all bytes are copied in a preserving manner (unlike memcpy()).

PARAMETERS

s1 

Points to the target buffer.

s2 

Points to the source buffer.

n 

Is the number of bytes to copy.

RETURN VALUES

The memmove() function returns pointer s1.
