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The bzero() interface is obsolete.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.
