    const mutable_buffers_1 & source,
    std::size_t max_bytes_to_copy);
Parameters

target

A modifiable buffer representing the memory region 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.

The maximum number of bytes to be copied.

Return Value
