MEMCCPY(3) | Library Functions Manual | MEMCCPY(3)

# NAME

`memccpy` — copy string until character found

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <string.h>`

void *
`memccpy`(void *dst, const void *src, int c, size_t len);

# DESCRIPTION

The `memccpy`() function copies bytes from string src to string dst. If the character c (as converted to an unsigned char) occurs in the string src, the copy stops and a pointer to the byte after the copy of c in the string dst is returned. Otherwise, len bytes are copied, and a null pointer is returned.

If the src and dst strings overlap, the behavior is undefined.

# SEE ALSO

bcopy(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), strcpy(3), strlcpy(3)

# HISTORY

The `memccpy`() function first appeared in AT&T System V UNIX and was reimplemented for 4.3BSD.
