NAME

strinit - initialize a string with a given character to a given length

SYNOPSIS

 #include <publib.h>
 char *strinit(char *s, int c, size_t len) {
 

 

DESCRIPTION

strinit initializes the string pointed to by s to be of length len, all characters being c, where the terminating \ 0' is not included in the length, i.e., the string will use len+1 characters.

RETURN VALUE

strinit will return s.

EXAMPLE

To initialize a string to consist of twenty underscores, one would do the following.

 #include <publib.h>
 
 char string[21];     /* note 21 to make room for '\0' */
 strinit(string, '_', 20);
