BZERO(9)               NetBSD Kernel Developer's Manual               BZERO(9)


NAME

     bzero -- write zeroes to a byte string


SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/systm.h>

     void
     bzero(void *b, size_t len);


DESCRIPTION

     The bzero() interface is obsolete.  Do not add new code using it.  It
     will soon be purged.  Use memset(9) instead.  (The bzero() function is
     now a macro for memset(9).)

     The bzero() function writes len zero bytes to the string b.  If len is
     zero, bzero() does nothing.
