+# dcopy-within
+
+> Perform an in-place copy of elements within a double-precision floating-point array.
+
+<section class="usage">
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+var dcopyWithin = require( '@stdlib/blas/ext/base/dcopy-within' );
+```
+
+#### dcopyWithin( N, target, x, strideX, start, end )
+
+Performs an in-place copy of elements within a double-precision floating-point array.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
+
+dcopyWithin( 3, 2, x, 1, 1, 2 );
+// x => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ]
+```
+
+The function has the following parameters:
+
+-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
+-   **target**: target index.
+-   **x**: input [`Float64Array`][@stdlib/array/float64].
+-   **strideX**: stride length.
+-   **start**: source start index.
+-   **end**: source end index.
+
+The `N` and stride parameters determine which elements in the strided array are accessed at runtime. For example, to copy every other element:
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ] );
+
+dcopyWithin( 3, 0, x, 2, 1, 6 );
+// x => <Float64Array>[ 3.0, 2.0, 5.0, 4.0, 7.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 ]
+```
+
+Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+// Initial array...
+var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
+
+// Create an offset view...
+var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
+
+// Copy within the view...
+dcopyWithin( 2, 0, x1, 1, 2, 5 );
+// x0 => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 4.0, 5.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ]
+```
+
+#### dcopyWithin.ndarray( N, target, x, strideX, offsetX, start, end )
+
+Performs an in-place copy of elements within a double-precision floating-point array using alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
+
+dcopyWithin.ndarray( 2, 2, x, 1, 1, 0, 5 );
+// x => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 2.0, 3.0, 6.0 ]
+```
+
+The function has the following additional parameters:
+
+-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
+
+While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying buffer, the offset parameter supports indexing semantics based on a starting index. For example, to copy elements starting from the second element:
+
+```javascript
+var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
+
+var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 ] );
+
+dcopyWithin.ndarray( 2, 2, x, 1, 2, 0, 2 );
+// x => <Float64Array>[ 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 3.0, 4.0 ]
+```
