wmempcpy

[Jon Grant]

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

Hi Jon,

I'm not too worried about this.

Cheers,

Michael
