 bstring(SLIB)                  6 January 1993                  bstring(SLIB)


 Name

    bcopy, bcmp, bzero - bit and byte string operations

 Syntax


    bcopy(src, dst, length)
    char *src, *dst;
    int length;

    bcmp(b1, b2, length)
    char *b1, *b2;
    int length;

    bzero(b, length)
    char *b;
    int length;


 Description

    The functions bcopy, bcmp, and bzero operate on variable length strings
    of bytes.  They do not check for null bytes as the routines in string(S)
    do.

    bcopy copies length bytes from string src to the string dst.

    bcmp compares byte string b1 against byte string b2, returning zero if
    they are identical, non-zero otherwise.  Both strings are assumed to be
    length bytes long.

    bzero places length 0 bytes in the string b.

 Notes

    The bcopy routine takes parameters backwards from strcpy.
