43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn memccpy
46function
47copies bytes from string
48.Fa src
49to string
50.Fa dst .
51If the character
52.Fa c
53(as converted to an unsigned char) occurs in the string
54.Fa src ,
55the copy stops and a pointer to the byte after the copy of
56.Fa c
57in the string
58.Fa dst
59is returned.
60Otherwise,
61.Fa len
62bytes are copied, and a null pointer is returned.
