memset(void *b, int c, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The memset() function writes len bytes of value c (converted to an unsigned char) to the string b.
RETURN VALUES

LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
int
bcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);
void
bcopy(const void *src, void *dst, size_t len);
void
bzero(void *b, size_t len);

int
memcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);
void *
memccpy(void *dst, const void *src, int c, size_t len);
void *
memcpy(void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);
void *
memmove(void *dst, const void *src, size_t len);
void *
memset(void *b, int c, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
These functions operate on variable length strings of bytes. They do not check for terminating null bytes as the routines listed in
string(3) do.
See the specific manual pages for more information.
SEE ALSO bcmp(3), bcopy(3), bzero(3), memccpy(3), memchr(3), memcmp(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), memset(3)STANDARDS
The functions memchr(), memcmp(), memcpy(), memmove(), and memset() conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').
HISTORY
The functions bzero() and memccpy() appeared in 4.3BSD; the functions bcmp(), bcopy(), appeared in 4.2BSD.

Dear all,
In my code,i am planning to use memset function to re-initialise an array before populating it everytime. Will using memset function be an overload to the program? (3 Replies)
HI all ,
please find the piece of code below

Hi guys,
my tool works fine in gentoo, ubuntu now im trying to port it to windows but bzero/bcopy I read aren't working on windows and for better portability I should of use memset() so im trying to translate

Hi,
memset call is failing on solaris for me. I wrote below code and that also fails. Any hints?
void *memset(void *dst, int c, size_t n)
{
if (n) {
char *d = dst;
do {
*d++ = c;
} while (--n);
}
return dst;
