More or less.  I partly agree with Bruce that suggesting memcpy is =
misleading.  I=E2=80=99d prefer something like:

This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in
POSIX.1-2001): use
.Xr memmove 3
in new programs.
If you can guarantee that the input and output buffers do not overlap, =
then
.Xr memcpy 3
may be more efficient.
