Initialize characters of a string to a given character.
| #include <string.h> | Required only for function declarations |
char *_strnset( char *string, int c, size_t count );
char __far * __far _fstrnset( char __far *string, int c, size_t count );
| string | String to be initialized | |
| c | Character setting | |
| count | Number of characters set |
The _strnset and _fstrnset functions set, at most, the first count characters of string to c (converted to char) and return a pointer to the altered string. If count is greater than the length of string, the length of string is used in place of count.
The _fstrnset function is a model-independent (large-model) form of the _strnset function. The behavior and return value of _fstrnset are identical to those of the model-dependent function _strnset, with the exception that all the arguments and return values are far.
The return values for these functions are described above.
