memset()                 Initialize Buffer

 #include   <memory.h>                   Required for declarations only
 #include   <string.h>                   Use either string.h or memory.h

 char       *memset(dest,ch,cnt);
 char       *dest;                       Pointer to destination
 int        ch;                          Character to set
 unsigned   cnt;                         Number of characters

    memset() sets the first 'cnt' bytes of the buffer 'dest' to the
    character 'ch'.

    Returns:    A pointer to the beginning of 'dest'.

  -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statement initializes the buffer 'buff' to 0.

         #include <memory.h>

         char buff[128];

         main()
         {
             memset(char,'\0',128);
         }
