13.26.5 Miscellaneous functions

Function: ikptr_t ikrt_general_copy (ikptr_t dst, ikptr_t dst_start, ikptr_t src, ikptr_t src_start, ikptr_t count, ikpcb_t pcb)

Copy count items from src starting at offset src_start, to dst starting at offset dst_start; src_start, dst_start and count must be non–negative fixnums. Return unspecified values.

Both dst and src can be one among: a bytevector, a pointer, a string. For bytevectors and pointers: bytes are moved and src_start, dst_start and count are in byte units. For strings: 32-bit values representing Unicode code points are moved and src_start, dst_start and count are in character units.
