Hello
Just wondering if this could be re-phrased to avoid starting sentence
with "but":
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/online/pages/man3/wmempcpy.3.html
"But instead.."
How about simply removing "But" and adding a comma after "dest', so it
becomes:
Instead of returning the value of dest, it returns a pointer to the byte
following the last written byte."
-- I'd be tempted to also say "after" rather than "following", to keep
the words shorter!
Best regards, Jon
