+.Ft void
+.Fn bcopy "const void *src" "void *dst" "size_t len"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn bcopy
+function copies
+.Fa len
+bytes from object
+.Fa src
+to object
+.Fa dst .
+The two objects may overlap.
+If
+.Fa len
+is zero, no bytes are copied.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn bcopy
+function is deprecated and
+.Fn memcpy
+or
+.Fn memmove
+should be used as appropriate in new code.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr memcpy 9 ,
+.Xr memmove 9
+.Sh HISTORY
+A
+.Fn bcopy
+function appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
+.Pp
+.St -p1003.1-2008
+removes the specification of
+.Fn bcopy
+and it is marked as LEGACY in
+.St -p1003.1-2004 .
+New programs should use
+.Xr memmove 3 .
+If the input and output buffer do not overlap, then
+.Xr memcpy 3
+is more efficient.
+Note that
+.Fn bcopy
+takes
+.Ar src
+and
+.Ar dst
+in the opposite order from
+.Fn memmove
+and
+.Fn memcpy .
+In practice,
+.In sys/systm.h
+defines
+.Fn bcopy
+as a macro that calls
+.Fn memmove
+since
+.Fx 12.0 .
