# NAME

`memccpy` —
copy string until character found

# LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <string.h>`

void *
`memccpy`(void *dst, const void *src, int c, size_t len);

# DESCRIPTION

The `memccpy`() function copies bytes from string src to string dst. If the character c (as converted to an unsigned char) occurs in the string src, the copy stops and a pointer to the byte after the copy of c in the string dst is returned. Otherwise, len bytes are copied, and a null pointer is returned.
