# std::memmove

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | string‎ | byte

Defined in header `<cstring>` |  |
void* memmove( void* dest, const void* src, std::size_t count ); |  |

Copies `count` characters from the object pointed to by `src` to the object pointed to by `dest`. The objects may overlap: copying takes place as if the characters were copied to a temporary character array and then the characters were copied from the array to `dest`. If the objects are not trivially-copyable (scalars, arrays, C-style structs), the behavior is undefined.

### [edit] Parameters

dest | - | pointer to the memory location to copy to
src | - | pointer to the memory location to copy from
count | - | number of bytes to copy

### [edit] Return value

`dest`
