       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <string.h>

       void *memccpy(void dest[restrict .n], const void src[restrict .n],
                     int c, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The memccpy() function copies no more than n bytes from memory
       area src to memory area dest, stopping when the character c is
       found.

       If the memory areas overlap, the results are undefined.

       The memccpy() function returns a pointer to the next character in
       dest after c, or NULL if c was not found in the first n
       characters of src.
