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);
