function

memset

void * memset ( void * ptr, int value, size_t num );

Fill block of memory

Sets the first num bytes of the block of memory pointed by ptr to the specified value (interpreted as an unsigned char).

Parameters

ptr: Pointer to the block of memory to fill.
value: Value to be set. The value is passed as an int, but the function fills the block of memory using the unsigned char conversion of this value.
num: Number of bytes to be set to the value.
size_t is an unsigned integral type.

Return Valueptr is returned.

Example

/* memset example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main ()
{
  char str[] = "almost every programmer should know memset!";
  memset (str,'-',6);
  puts (str);
  return 0;
}

Output:

------ every programmer should know memset!
