bcopy(9r)							     bcopy(9r)

NAME
       bcopy - General: Copies a series of bytes with a specified limit

SYNOPSIS
       void bcopy(
	       char *b1,
	       char *b2,
	       int n );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies  a  pointer  to  a  byte  string (array of characters).  This
       pointer can reside in kernel address space or in	 user  address	space.
       Specifies  a  pointer to a buffer of at least n bytes. This pointer can
       reside in kernel address space or in user address space.	 Specifies the
       number of bytes to be copied.

DESCRIPTION
       The bcopy routine copies n bytes from string b1 to buffer b2.  No check
       is made for null bytes.	The  copy  is  nondestructive,	that  is,  the
       address ranges of b1 and b2 can overlap.

RETURN VALUES
       None

EXAMPLES
       The following code fragment shows a call to bcopy:

       .  .  .

       struct tc_slot  tc_slot[TC_IOSLOTS];

       .  .  .

       char *cp;

       .  .  .

       bcopy(tc_slot[index].modulename, cp, TC_ROMNAMLEN + 1);

       .  .  .
