%MEMCPY

Syntax	variable = (char*)%MEMCPY( s1, s2, number )
Category	BASIC
Type	C Function
Description	copies the number of characters specified by "number" from memory area "s2" into "s1". "s1" and "s2" are either FlashBASIC strings or pointers to a character. "variable" is a pointer to "s1". If "s1" is a Pick string, the value returned by this function has no meaning.
Options
See Also	c function CFUNCTION %MEMXCPY
Example	* Read 1024 bytes from device * and copy them in a Pick buffer precision 0 char buffer[1024] p=(char)%malloc( 1024 ) n=%read(fd, (char)p, 1024 ) %memcpy( buffer, p+32, n-32 ) In this example, note the operation on pointers, allowed because of the statement 'precision 0'. This allows reading data from a device, and copy only the portion after a fixed size header (32 bytes in this example).
Warnings	If the string contains a segment mark (x'ff'), the data is truncated.
