The two strings may overlap. If .Fa len is zero, no bytes are copied. .Pp -This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in -POSIX.1-2001): use -.Xr memcpy 3 -or +This function is obsolete (marked as LEGACY in +POSIX.1-2001): please use .Xr memmove 3 in new programs. -Note that the first two arguments are -interchanged for -.Xr memcpy 3 -and +Note that +.Fn bcopy +takes its src and dst arguments in the opposite +order from .Xr memmove 3 . POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of .Fn bcopy . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr memccpy 3 , .Xr memcpy 3 , .Xr memmove 3 , .Xr strcpy 3 , .Xr strncpy 3 .Sh HISTORY A .Fn bcopy function appeared in .Bx 4.2 . Its prototype existed previously in .In string.h before it was moved to .In strings.h for .St -p1003.1-2001 compliance.
