NAME
memmove - copy memory area
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
void *memmove(void *dest, const void *src, size_t n);

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 dest, and the bytes are then copied from the temporary
array to dest.
RETURN VALUE
The memmove() function returns a pointer to dest.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The memmove() function is thread-safe.
