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 *s, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The bzero() function writes n zeroed bytes to the string s. If n is zero, bzero() does nothing. SEE ALSO
memset(3), swab(3) HISTORY
A bzero() function appeared in 4.3BSD. Its prototype existed previously in <string.h> before it was moved to <strings.h> for IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') compliance. bzero() was deprecated in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') and removed in IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1''). BSD

NAME
bcmp, bcopy, bzero, memccpy, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memmove, memset -- byte string operations LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h> int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n); void bcopy(const void *s1, void *s2, size_t n); void bzero(void *s, size_t n); #include <string.h> void * memccpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, int c, size_t n); void * memchr(const void *s, int c, size_t n); int memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n); void * memcpy(void *restrict s1, const void *restrict s2, size_t n); void * memmove(void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n); void * memset(void *s, int c, size_t n); 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. LEGACY SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> The include file <string.h> is necessary and sufficient for all functions. SEE ALSO
bcmp(3), bcopy(3), bzero(3), memccpy(3), memchr(3), memcmp(3), memcpy(3), memmove(3), memset(3), compat(5) 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. BSD
