X-Hacker.org- Microsoft C 6.0 - <b>memccpy() copy characters from buffer</b>
[<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
memccpy() Copy Characters from Buffer
#include <memory.h> Required for declarations only
#include <string.h> Use either string.h or memory.h
void *memccpy(dest,source,ch,cnt);
void *dest; Pointer to destination
void *source; Pointer to source
int ch; Last character to copy
unsigned cnt; Maximum number of characters to copy
memccpy() copies characters from 'source' to 'dest'. The copy
proceeds up to (and including) the first occurrence of 'ch', or it
continues until a maximum of 'cnt' bytes have been copied.
Returns: A pointer to the byte after 'ch' in 'dest', if 'ch' has
been found and copied. NULL is returned if 'ch' was not
copied.
Notes: Use memcpy() to copy 'cnt' bytes from one buffer to
another without checking for a character.
Buffers are arrays of characters and are usually not
terminated with a null character ('\0'). The
buffer-manipulation routines always have a length or
count argument.
Portability: Not supported by ANSI standard.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
The following statement copies characters from 'from_buffer' into
'to_buffer' until the "@" character or 128 bytes are copied,
whichever happens first.
#include <memory.h.
char to_buffer[128];
char from_buffer[128];
char *bufptr;
main()
{
bufptr = memccpy(to_buffer, from_buffer, '@', 128);
}
