_memccpy
Visual Studio 2005
Copies characters from a buffer.
void *_memccpy( void *dest, const void *src, int c, size_t count );
Parameters
- dest
-
Pointer to the destination.
- src
-
Pointer to the source.
- c
-
Last character to copy.
- count
-
Number of characters.
The _memccpy function copies 0 or more characters of src to dest, halting when the character c has been copied or when count characters have been copied, whichever comes first.
Security Note Make sure that the destination buffer is the same size or larger than the source buffer. For more information, see Avoiding Buffer Overruns.
