FUNCTION
	<<memset>>---set an area of memory

INDEX
	memset

ANSI_SYNOPSIS
	#include <string.h>
	void *memset(const void *<[dst]>, int <[c]>, size_t <[length]>);

TRAD_SYNOPSIS
	#include <string.h>
	void *memset(<[dst]>, <[c]>, <[length]>)
	void *<[dst]>;
	int <[c]>;
	size_t <[length]>;

DESCRIPTION
	This function converts the argument <[c]> into an unsigned
	char and fills the first <[length]> characters of the array
	pointed to by <[dst]> to the value.

RETURNS
	<<memset>> returns the value of <[m]>.

PORTABILITY
<<memset>> is ANSI C.
