Subject: misleading note in https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/bstring.3.html
Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2022 23:43:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4e7589dc-2c5c-d705-e2a9-4b0878bfce3d@inode.at> (raw)
Hello!
The note section in https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/bstring.3.html
says:
The functions*bcmp*(),*bcopy*(), and*bzero*() are obsolete. Use
*memcmp*(),*memcpy*(), and*memset*() instead.
The std-replacement replacement for bcopy() in NOT memcpy() but memmove().
Thus it should say:
The functions*bcmp*(),*bcopy*(), and*bzero*() are obsolete. Use
*memcmp*(),*memmove*(), and*memset*() instead.
Regards, Aaron Peter Bachmann
