#### NAME

> memccpy - copy bytes in memory

#### SYNOPSIS

> ``[XSI] #include <string.h>
> void *memccpy(void *restrict` s1`, const void *restrict` s2`,
> int` c`, size_t` n`);``
> `
> `

#### DESCRIPTION

> The memccpy() function shall copy bytes from memory area s2 into s1, stopping after the first occurrence of byte c (converted to an unsigned char) is copied, or after n bytes are copied, whichever comes first. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

#### RETURN VALUE

> The memccpy() function shall return a pointer to the byte after the copy of c in s1, or a null pointer if c was not found in the first n bytes of s2.

#### ERRORS

> No errors are defined.

The following sections are informative.

#### EXAMPLES

> None.

#### APPLICATION USAGE

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

#### RATIONALE

> None.

#### FUTURE DIRECTIONS

> None.

#### SEE ALSO

> XBD <string.h>

#### CHANGE HISTORY

> First released in Issue 1. Derived from Issue 1 of the SVID.

#### Issue 6

> The restrict keyword is added to the memccpy() prototype for alignment with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard.
