FUNCTION
	<<memmove>>---move possibly overlapping memory

INDEX
	memmove

ANSI_SYNOPSIS
	#include <string.h>
	void *memmove(void *<[dst]>, const void *<[src]>, size_t <[length]>);

TRAD_SYNOPSIS
	#include <string.h>
	void *memmove(<[dst]>, <[src]>, <[length]>)
	void *<[dst]>;
	void *<[src]>;
	size_t <[length]>;

DESCRIPTION
	This function moves <[length]> characters from the block of
	memory starting at <<*<[src]>>> to the memory starting at
	<<*<[dst]>>>. <<memmove>> reproduces the characters correctly
	at <<*<[dst]>>> even if the two areas overlap.


RETURNS
	The function returns <[dst]> as passed.

PORTABILITY
<<memmove>> is ANSI C.

<<memmove>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
