NAME
       bcopy - copy byte sequence

SYNOPSIS
       #include <strings.h>

       void bcopy(const void *src, void *dest, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The bcopy() function copies n bytes from src to dest.  The result is correct, even when both areas overlap.

RETURN VALUE
       None.

CONFORMING TO
       4.3BSD.   This  function  is  deprecated (marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001): use memcpy(3) or memmove(3) in new programs.
       Note that the first two arguments are interchanged for memcpy(3) and memmove(3).  POSIX.1-2008 removes the  specification
       of bcopy().

SEE ALSO
       memccpy(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), strcpy(3), strncpy(3)
