bcopy(9r)
NAME
  bcopy - General: Copies a series of bytes with a specified limit

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

ARGUMENTS
  b1  Specifies a pointer to a byte string (array of characters).  This
      pointer can reside in kernel address space or in user address space.

  b2  Specifies a pointer to a buffer of at least n bytes. This pointer can
      reside in kernel address space or in user address space.

  n   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);

       .
       .
       .
