memins - insert bytes at beginning of memory block
Contents
Description
memins inserts srcsize bytes from src at the beginning of tgt, but moves the first tgtsize out of the
way. The source and target memory blocks must not overlap.
Example
To insert a new element at the ith position of an array, one might do the following.
int new, array[10];
memins(array+i, (10-i-1)*sizeof(array[0]), &new, sizeof(new));
Please note that the above code carefully avoids the trap of moving the last element of the array past
the end of the array.
