WMEMSET(3P)                                         POSIX Programmer's Manual                                        WMEMSET(3P)



PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (con-
       sult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface  may  not  be  implemented  on
       Linux.

NAME
       wmemset - set wide characters in memory

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemset(wchar_t *ws, wchar_t wc, size_t n);


DESCRIPTION
       The  wmemset()  function  shall copy the value of wc into each of the first n wide characters of the object pointed to by
       ws. This function shall not be affected by locale and all wchar_t values shall be treated  identically.   The  null  wide
       character and wchar_t values not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated specially.

       If n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws is a valid pointer, and the function shall copy zero wide characters.

RETURN VALUE
       The wmemset() functions shall return the value of ws.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
