| memcmp() | Compares two blocks of memory to determine which one represents a larger numeric value |
| memcpy() | Copies data from one block of memory to another |
| memmove() | Copies data from one block of memory to another accounting for the possibility that the blocks of memory overlap |
| memset() | Sets all of the bytes in a block of memory to the same value |
| strcat() | Appends one string to the end of another |
| strchr() | Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of a character in a string |
| strcmp() | Compares the ASCII values of characters in two strings to determine which string has a higher value |
