DESCRIPTION
The memmove() function
copies n bytes from
memory area src to
memory area dest. The
memory areas may overlap: copying takes place as though the
bytes in src are
first copied into a temporary array that does not overlap
src or dst, and the bytes are then
copied from the temporary array to dest.
RETURN VALUE
The memmove() function
returns a pointer to dest.
