Buffer Manipulation (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

Use buffer manipulation routines to work with areas of memory on a byte-by-byte basis.

For detailed reference information about the CRT functions, see Alphabetical Function Reference (CRT).

Routine	Use
_memccpy	Copy characters from one buffer to another until given character or given number of characters has been copied
memchr, wmemchr	Return pointer to first occurrence, within specified number of characters, of given character in buffer
memcmp, wmemcmp	Compare specified number of characters from two buffers
memcpy, wmemcpy	Copy specified number of characters from one buffer to another. These functions have been deprecated because a more secure version, memcpy_s, exists.
memcpy_s	Copies bytes between buffers. Security-enhanced version of deprecated function memcpy.
_memicmp	Compare specified number of characters from two buffers without regard to case
memmove	Copy specified number of characters from one buffer to another. This functions has been deprecated because a more secure version, memmove_s, exists.
memmove_s	Moves one buffer to another. Security-enhanced version of deprecated function memmove.
memset, wmemset	Use given character to initialize specified number of bytes in the buffer
_swab	Swap bytes of data and store them at specified location

When the source and target areas overlap, only memmove is guaranteed to copy the full source properly.
