Is strncpy() a specialization of memcpy()?

Question

Just curious to know (as we use these functions often). I don\'t see any practical difference between strncpy() and memcpy(). Isn\'t it worth to say that effectively,

Answer 1

Adding on to what the others have said, the type of the src and dst pointers does not matter. That is, I can copy a 4 byte integer to 4 consecutive characters of 1 byte like this:

int num = 5;
char arr[4];
memcpy(arr, &num, 4);

Another difference is that memcpy does not look ofr any characters (such as NULL, by strncpy). It blindly copies num bytes from source to destination.

Edited: Properly formatted the code
