  45 .Ft void *
  46 .Fo memccpy

  52 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  53 The
  54 .Fn memccpy
  55 function
  56 copies bytes from string
  57 .Fa s2
  58 to string
  59 .Fa s1 .
  60 If the character
  61 .Fa c
  62 (as converted to an unsigned char) occurs in the string
  63 .Fa s2 ,
  64 the copy stops and a pointer to the byte after the copy of
  65 .Fa c
  66 in the string
  67 .Fa s1
  68 is returned.
  69 Otherwise,
  70 .Fa n
  71 bytes are copied, and a NULL pointer is returned.
