#### buffer_copy (14 of 30 overloads)

Copies bytes from a source buffer to a target buffer sequence.

    template<
        typename MutableBufferSequence>
    std::size_t buffer_copy(
        const MutableBufferSequence & target,
        const mutable_buffers_1 & source);

###### Parameters

target

  A modifiable buffer sequence representing the memory regions to which the bytes will be copied.

source

  A modifiable buffer representing the memory region from which the bytes will be copied. The contents of the source buffer will not be modified.

###### Return Value

The number of bytes copied.

###### Remarks

The number of bytes copied is the lesser of:

- `buffer_size(target)`
- `buffer_size(source)`

This function is implemented in terms of `memcpy`, and consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.
