/**
* Copy a memory segment to another, non-overlapping, segment,
* stop when a NUL byte or a specified byte is encountered.
*
* This is a slibc extension added for completeness.
* It is only available if GNU extensions are available.
*
* @param whither The destination memory segment.
* @param whence The source memory segment.
* @param c The stop byte.
* @param maxlen The maximum number of bytes to copy.
* NOTE that if the resulting string at least this
* long, no NUL byte will be written to `whither'.
* On the otherhand, if the resultnig string is
* shorter, `whither` will be filled with NUL bytes
* until this amount of bytes have been written.
* @return `NULL` if `c` was not encountered, otherwise
* the position of `c` translated to `whither`,
* that is, the address of `whither` plus the
* number of copied characters; the address of
* one character passed the last written non-NUL
* character.
