3 <<memmove>>---move possibly overlapping memory
10 void *memmove(void *<[dst]>, const void *<[src]>, size_t <[length]>);
14 void *memmove(<[dst]>, <[src]>, <[length]>)
20 This function moves <[length]> characters from the block of
21 memory starting at <<*<[src]>>> to the memory starting at
22 <<*<[dst]>>>. <<memmove>> reproduces the characters correctly
23 at <<*<[dst]>>> even if the two areas overlap.
27 The function returns <[dst]> as passed.
30 <<memmove>> is ANSI C.
32 <<memmove>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
