- /* File : bcopy.c
- Author : Richard A. O'Keefe.
- Updated: 23 April 1984
- Defines: bcopy()
-
- bcopy(src, dst, len) moves exactly "len" bytes from the source "src"
- to the destination "dst". It does not check for NUL characters as
- strncpy() and strnmov() do. Thus if your C compiler doesn't support
- structure assignment, you can simulate it with
- bcopy(&from, &to, sizeof from);
- BEWARE: the first two arguments are the other way around from almost
- everything else. I'm sorry about that, but that's the way it is in
- the 4.2bsd manual, though they list it as a bug. For a version with
- the arguments the right way around, use bmove().
- No value is returned.
-
- Note: the "b" routines are there to exploit certain VAX order codes,
- but the MOVC3 instruction will only move 65535 characters. The asm
- code is presented for your interest and amusement.
