zeroes to a byte string
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
#include
<strings.h>
void
bzero
(void
*s, size_t n);
The
bzero
()
function writes n zeroed bytes to the string
s. If n is zero,
bzero
() does nothing.
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”).
