C in a Nutshell

Name

wmemset

Synopsis

Sets all wide characters in a memory block to a given value

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

The wmemset() function sets each wide character in a block of n wide characters to the value c, beginning at the address in dest. The return value is the same as the pointer argument dest.

Example

#define BLOCKSIZE 2048             // Size as a number of wchar_t elements.
wchar_t *inputblock;

if (( inputblock = malloc( BLOCKSIZE * sizeof(wchar_t))) != NULL )wmemset( inputblock, L'~', BLOCKSIZE );
/* ... */
