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

You could potentially make strncpy faster by checking for a \0 and not copying past that point. So memcpy would always copy all the data, but strncpy would often be faster because of the check.
