.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_strcmove ()
and
.BR libsimple_strccpy ()
functions copy the string, including the
NUL byte that terminates it,
.I src
into
.IR dest .
However the copying stops directly after that character
.I c
(it is converted to a
.BR char )
is copied, and a NUL byte is written behind it.
.PP
The arrays may overlap in the
.BR libsimple_strcmove ()
function but not in the
.BR libsimple_strccpy ()
function.
.PP
The comparison is case-sensitive.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_strcmove ()
and
.BR libsimple_strccpy ()
functions return a pointer directly behind
the position of the character
.I c
in the string
.I dest
after it was copied, if the character
.I c
was not copied
.I NULL
is returned.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_strcmove ()
and
.BR libsimple_strccpy ()
functions cannot fail.
