mempcpy, wmempcpy - copy memory area
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <string.h>
void *mempcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *wmempcpy(wchar_t *dest, const wchar_t *src, size_t n);
The mempcpy() function is nearly identical to the memcpy(3) function.
It copies n bytes from the object beginning at src into the object
pointed to by dest. But instead of returning the value of dest it
returns a pointer to the byte following the last written byte.
This function is useful in situations where a number of objects shall
be copied to consecutive memory positions.
The wmempcpy() function is identical but takes wchar_t type arguments
and copies n wide characters.
dest + n.
mempcpy() first appeared in glibc in version 2.1.
This function is a GNU extension.
void *
combine(void *o1, size_t s1, void *o2, size_t s2)

void *result = malloc(s1 + s2);
if (result != NULL)
mempcpy(mempcpy(result, o1, s1), o2, s2);
return result;
}
