memmove

Moves a number of bytes from one buffer to another.

void *memmove( void *dest, const void *src, size_t n );

dest	Destination buffer where the data is copied.
src	The name of the source buffer from which the data is copied.
n	The number of bytes to copy.

Return Values

Returns dest, the destination buffer to where the data is copied.

The following example moves the first 4 characters 1 space forward. Because the first character, `a', remains unchanged, "abcde" becomes "aabcd".

     #include <string.h>

     char buffer[80];
     strcpy( buffer, "abcde");
     memmove(buffer+1, buffer, 4 );
     lr_output_message ("New string: %s\n", buffer);

Example: Output:
New string: aabcd
