BZERO(9)

BZERO(9) | 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The `bzero`() interface is obsolete.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.
