.Sh NAME
.Nm bcopy
.Nd copy byte string
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/systm.h
.Ft void
.Fn bcopy "const void *src" "void *dst" "size_t len"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Bf -symbolic
The
.Fn bcopy
interface is obsolete.
Do not add new code using it.
It will soon be purged.
Use
.Xr memcpy 9
instead.
(The
.Fn bcopy
function is now a macro for
.Xr memcpy 9 . )
.Ef
.Pp
The
.Fn bcopy
function
copies
.Fa len
bytes from string
.Fa src
to string
.Fa dst .
.Pp
.Bf -symbolic
Unlike
.Xr bcopy 3
the two strings must not overlap!
.Ef
In the traditional
.Bx
kernel, overlapping copies were handled by the now-purged
.Fn ovbcopy
function.
If you need to copy overlapping data, see
.Xr memmove 9 .
.Pp
If
.Fa len
is zero, no bytes are copied.
