PPRROOLLOOGG
       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       memccpy -- copy bytes in memory

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
       #include <string.h>

       void *memccpy(void *restrict _s_1, const void *restrict _s_2,
           int _c, size_t _n);

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The _m_e_m_c_c_p_y() function shall copy bytes from memory area _s_2 into _s_1,
       stopping after the first occurrence of byte _c (converted to an uunnssiiggnneedd
       cchhaarr) is copied, or after _n bytes are copied, whichever comes first. If
       copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is
       undefined.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       The _m_e_m_c_c_p_y() function shall return a pointer to the byte after the
       copy of _c in _s_1, or a null pointer if _c was not found in the first _n
       bytes of _s_2.

EERRRROORRSS
       No errors are defined.

       The _m_e_m_c_c_p_y() function does not check for the overflow of the receiving
       memory area.
