+.SH NAME
+memmove \- copy bytes in memory with overlapping areas
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <string.h>
+.br
+.sp
+void *memmove(void *\fP\fIs1\fP\fB, const void *\fP\fIs2\fP\fB, size_t\fP
+\fIn\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fImemmove\fP() function shall copy \fIn\fP bytes from the object
+pointed to by \fIs2\fP into the object pointed to by
+\fIs1\fP. Copying takes place as if the \fIn\fP bytes from the object
+pointed to by \fIs2\fP are first copied into a temporary
+array of \fIn\fP bytes that does not overlap the objects pointed to
+by \fIs1\fP and \fIs2\fP, and then the \fIn\fP bytes from
+the temporary array are copied into the object pointed to by \fIs1\fP.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+The \fImemmove\fP() function shall return \fIs1\fP; no return value
+is reserved to indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS

+No errors are defined.
