+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm memcpy
+.Nd copy bytes
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <string.h>
+.Ft void *
+.Fn memcpy "void *dst" "const void *src" "size_t len"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn memcpy
+function copies
+.Fa len
+bytes from buffer
+.Fa src
+to buffer
+.Fa dst .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn memcpy
+function returns the original value of
+.Fa dst .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr bcopy 3 ,
+.Xr memccpy 3 ,
+.Xr memmove 3 ,
+.Xr strcpy 3 ,
+.Xr strlcpy 3 ,
+.Xr wmemcpy 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn memcpy
+function conforms to
+.St -ansiC .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn memcpy
+function first appeared in
+.At V
+and was reimplemented for
+.Bx 4.3 Tahoe .
+.Sh CAVEATS
+In this implementation
+.Fn memcpy
+is implemented using
+.Xr bcopy 3 ,
+and therefore the buffers may overlap.
+On other systems, copying overlapping buffers may produce surprises.
+A portable, safe solution is to use
+.Xr memmove 3 .
