SYNOPSIS top

   **#include <string.h>**

   **int bcmp(const void** _s1_**[.**_n_**], const void** _s2_**[.**_n_**], size_t** _n_**);**

   **void bcopy(const void** _src_**[.**_n_**], void** _dest_**[.**_n_**], size_t** _n_**);**

   **void bzero(void** _s_**[.**_n_**], size_t** _n_**);**

   **void *memccpy(void** _dest_**[.**_n_**], const void** _src_**[.**_n_**], int** _c_**, size_t** _n_**);**

   **void *memchr(const void** _s_**[.**_n_**], int** _c_**, size_t** _n_**);**

   **int memcmp(const void** _s1_**[.**_n_**], const void** _s2_**[.**_n_**], size_t** _n_**);**

   **void *memcpy(void** _dest_**[.**_n_**], const void** _src_**[.**_n_**], size_t** _n_**);**

   **void *memfrob(void** _s_**[.**_n_**], size_t** _n_**);**

   **void *memmem(const void** _haystack_**[.**_haystacklen_**], size_t** _haystacklen_**,**
                **const void** _needle_**[.**_needlelen_**], size_t** _needlelen_**);**

   **void *memmove(void** _dest_**[.**_n_**], const void** _src_**[.**_n_**], size_t** _n_**);**

   **void *memset(void** _s_**[.**_n_**], int** _c_**, size_t** _n_**);**

DESCRIPTION top

   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 top

   The functions **bcmp**() and **bcopy**() are obsolete.  Use **memcmp**() and
   **memmove**() instead.
