+NAME
+ bcopy -- copy memory regions of arbitrary length
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ void bcopy (char *in, char *out, int length)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ Copy LENGTH bytes from memory region pointed to by IN to memory
+ region pointed to by OUT.
+
+BUGS
+ Significant speed improvements can be made in some cases by
+ implementing copies of multiple bytes simultaneously, or unrolling
+ the copy loop.
