bmove.c

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

/*  File   : bmove.c

    Defines: bmove()

    bmove(dst, src, len) moves exactly "len" bytes from the source "src"
    to the destination "dst".  It does not check for NUL characters as
    strncpy() and strnmov() do.  Thus if your C compiler doesn't support
    structure assignment, you can simulate it with
	bmove(&to, &from, sizeof from);
    The standard 4.2bsd routine for this purpose is bcopy.  But as bcopy
    has its first two arguments the other way around you may find this a
    bit easier to get right.
    No value is returned.

    Note: the "b" routines are there to exploit certain VAX order codes,
    but the MOVC3 instruction will only move 65535 characters.   The asm
    code is presented for your interest and amusement.
