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

PROLOG         top

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

NAME         top

       wmemset — set wide characters in memory

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>
       wchar_t *wmemset(wchar_t *ws, wchar_t wc, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
       here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       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         top

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