BZERO(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						  BZERO(3)

NAME

     bzero -- write zeroes to a byte string

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <strings.h>

     void
     bzero(void *b, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION

     The bzero() function writes len zero bytes to the string b.  If len is zero, bzero() does nothing.

SEE ALSO

     memset(3), swab(3)

STANDARDS

     The bzero() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').  The IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (``POSIX.1'') revision marked it as legacy and
     recommended the use of memset(3) instead.	The IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'') revision removed bzero() from the specification.

HISTORY

     A bzero() function appeared in 4.3BSD.

NAME

     bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memmove, memset -- byte string operations

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);

     void *
     memchr(const void *b, int c, 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.
