memcpy_s, wmemcpy_s

 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at memcpy_s, wmemcpy_s.

Copies bytes between buffers. These are versions of memcpy, wmemcpy with security enhancements as described in Security Features in the CRT.

Syntax

errno_t memcpy_s(  
   void *dest,  
   size_t destSize,  
   const void *src,  
   size_t count   
);  
errno_t wmemcpy_s(  
   wchar_t *dest,  
   size_t destSize,  
   const wchar_t *src,  
   size_t count  
);  

Parameters

dest
New buffer.

destSize
Size of the destination buffer, in bytes for memcpy_s and wide characters (wchar_t) for wmemcpy_s.

src
Buffer to copy from.

count
Number of characters to copy.

Return Value

Zero if successful; an error code on failure.

Error Conditions

dest destSize src count Return value Contents of dest
any any any 0 0 Not modified
NULL any any non-zero EINVAL Not modified
any any NULL non-zero EINVAL dest is zeroed out
any < count any non-zero ERANGE dest is zeroed out

Remarks

memcpy_s copies count bytes from src to dest; wmemcpy_s copies count wide characters (two bytes). If the source and destination overlap, the behavior of memcpy_s is undefined. Use memmove_s to handle overlapping regions.

These functions validate their parameters. If count is non-zero and dest or src is a null pointer, or destSize is smaller than count, these functions invoke the invalid parameter handler, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, these functions return EINVAL and set errno to EINVAL.

Requirements

Routine Required header
memcpy_s <memory.h> or <string.h>
wmemcpy_s <wchar.h>

For additional compatibility information, see Compatibility in the Introduction.

Example

// crt_memcpy_s.c  
// Copy memory in a more secure way.  
  
#include <memory.h>  
#include <stdio.h>  
  
int main()  
{  
   int a1[10], a2[100], i;  
   errno_t err;  
  
   // Populate a2 with squares of integers  
   for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)  
   {  
      a2[i] = i*i;  
   }  
  
   // Tell memcpy_s to copy 10 ints (40 bytes), giving  
   // the size of the a1 array (also 40 bytes).  
   err = memcpy_s(a1, sizeof(a1), a2, 10 * sizeof (int) );      
   if (err)  
   {  
      printf("Error executing memcpy_s.\n");  
   }  
   else  
   {  
     for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)  
       printf("%d ", a1[i]);  
   }  
   printf("\n");  
}
