/***
*char *_memccpy(dest, src, c, count) - copy bytes until character found
*
*Purpose:
*       Copies bytes from src to dest until count bytes have been
*       copied, or up to and including the character c, whichever
*       comes first.
*
*Entry:
*       void *dest - pointer to memory to receive copy
*       void *src  - source of bytes
*       int  c     - character to stop copy at
*       size_t count - max number of bytes to copy
*
*Exit:
*       returns pointer to byte immediately after c in dest
*       returns NULL if c was never found
*
*Exceptions:
