- * This routine copies a block of memory.
+ * Copies a block of memory from a source buffer to a destination buffer.
  *
  * @param Destination
- *        Supplies a pointer to the buffer where data will be copied to.
+ *        Supplies a pointer to the target buffer where the data will be copied.
  *
  * @param Source
- *        Supplies a pointer to the source buffer that will be copied.
+ *        Supplies a pointer to the source buffer containing the data to copy.
  *
  * @param Length
- *        Specifies the number of bytes to copy.
+ *        Specifies the number of bytes to transfer.
  *
  * @return This routine does not return any value.
