The move procedure
Description
The move procedure copies memory from one memory address to another. The memory
is copied correctly even if the source and destination memory locations overlap.
Parameter
- The first parameter is a reference to a variable that
specifies the source memory address (i.e. the address of the first byte to be copied). If the
variable is of address type
or of pointer type then the address stored in the
variable is the source memory address. If the
variable is not of
address type or of
pointer type then the address of the
variable itself is the source memory address.
- The second parameter is a reference to a variable that
specifies the destination memory address (i.e. the address where the memory is to be copied).
If the variable is of
address type or of
pointer type then the address stored in the
variable is the destination memory address. If the
variable is not of
address type or of
pointer type then the address of the
variable itself is the destination memory address.
- The third parameter is an expression of
integral type which specifies the number of memory
locations to copy. NOTE: This parameter is always treated as an unsigned
integer number.
