Subject: [PATCH] lib: string: implement mempcpy
Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2022 07:43:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221101064310.3227410-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
mempcpy(3) is a GNU libc extension that like stpcpy returns not the
start of the destination buffer, but the first byte after its end.
Provide it as it is useful when concatenating buffers or known-size
strings.

v1 -> v2:

commits reordered.
