memccpy(3)               Library Functions Manual              memccpy(3)
       memccpy - copy memory area
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)
       #include <string.h>
       void *memccpy(size_t n;
                     void dest[restrict n], const void src[restrict n],
                     int c, size_t n);
       The memccpy() function copies no more than n bytes from memory
       area src to memory area dest, stopping when the character c is
       found (c is copied).
       If the memory areas overlap, the results are undefined.
       The memccpy() function returns a pointer to the next character in
       dest after c, or NULL if c was not found in the first n characters
       of src.
