PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       memset - set bytes in memory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       void *memset(void *s, int c, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The memset() function shall copy c (converted to an unsigned char) into each of the first n bytes of the object pointed to by s.

RETURN VALUE

       The memset() function shall return s; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.

NAME

       bzero - memory operations (LEGACY)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <strings.h>

       void bzero(void *s, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The bzero() function shall place n zero-valued bytes in the area pointed to by s.

RETURN VALUE

       The bzero() function shall not return a value.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       The memset() function is preferred over this function.

       For maximum portability, it is recommended to replace the function call to bzero() as follows:

	      #define bzero(b,len) (memset((b), '', (len)), (void) 0)

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       This function may be withdrawn in a future version.
