+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+memcpy
+\(em copy bytes in memory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <string.h>
+.P
+void *memcpy(void *restrict \fIs1\fP, const void *restrict \fIs2\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fImemcpy\fR()
+function shall copy
+.IR n
+bytes from the object pointed to by
+.IR s2
+into the object pointed to by
+.IR s1 .
+If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is
+undefined.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fImemcpy\fR()
+function shall return
+.IR s1 ;
+no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The
+\fImemcpy\fR()
+function does not check for the overflow of the receiving memory
+area.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+The Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
