memcpy.c

Many C samples. It is a good sample for students to learn C language.

    Defines: memcpy()

    memcpy(dst, src, len)
    moves len bytes from src to dst.  The result is dst.  This is not
    the same as strncpy or strnmov, while move a maximum of len bytes
    and stop early if they hit a NUL character.  This moves len bytes
    exactly, no more, no less.  See also bcopy() and bmove() which do
    not return a value but otherwise do the same job.

    Note: the VAX assembly code version can only handle 0 <= len < 2^16.
    It is presented for your interest and amusement.
