What happens when you read the com buffer in multiple segments?

In its current form it will copy from the same location again and again when the function is called repeatedly:
memcpy(pBuf, pVcom->rx_buff, cnt);

why not do
memcpy(pBuf, pVcom->rx_buff + rx_rd_count, cnt);
etc...

cdc_vcom.c

/* Virtual com port buffered read routine */
uint32_t vcom_bread(uint8_t *pBuf, uint32_t buf_len)
{
VCOM_DATA_T *pVcom = &g_vCOM;
uint16_t cnt = 0;
/* read from the default buffer if any data present */
if (pVcom->rx_count) {
cnt = (pVcom->rx_count < buf_len) ? pVcom->rx_count : buf_len;
memcpy(pBuf, pVcom->rx_buff, cnt);
pVcom->rx_rd_count += cnt;

/* enter critical section */
NVIC_DisableIRQ(USB0_IRQn);
if (pVcom->rx_rd_count >= pVcom->rx_count) {
pVcom->rx_flags &= ~VCOM_RX_BUF_FULL;
pVcom->rx_rd_count = pVcom->rx_count = 0;
}
/* exit critical section */
NVIC_EnableIRQ(USB0_IRQn);
}
return cnt;

}
