:mrdocs:

Copy a byte range from a blob into a contiguous destination buffer.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bdlbb_blobutil.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
static
void
copy(
    char* dstBuffer,
    xref:BloombergLP/bdlbb/Blob.adoc[Blob] const& srcBlob,
    int position,
    int length);
----

== Description

Copy the specified `length` bytes starting at the specified `position` in the specified `srcBlob` to the specified `dstBuffer`. The behavior of this function is undefined unless `0 <= length`, `0 <= position`, `position <= srcBlob.totalSize() ‐ length`, and `dstBuffer` has room for `length` bytes. Note that this function does _not_ set `dstBuffer[length]` to 0.

== Parameters

[cols="1,4"]
