_strset, _fstrset

Description

Set characters of a string to a character.

char *_strset( char *string, int c );

char __far * __far _fstrset( char __far *string, int c );

Remarks

The _strset function sets all of the characters of string to c (converted to char), except the terminating null character ('\0').

The _fstrset function is a model-independent (large-model) form of the _strset function. The behavior and return value of _fstrset are identical to those of the model-dependent function _strset, with the exception that the pointer arguments and return value are far pointers.

Return Value

These functions return a pointer to the altered string. There is no error return.
