 void* memset( void* buffer, int ch, unsigned int count );
 
The function memset() copies ch into the first count characters of buffer, and returns buffer. 
memset() is useful for intializing a section of memory to some value. For example, this command:
 
   const int ARRAY_LENGTH;
   char the_array[ARRAY_LENGTH];
   ...
   // zero out the contents of the_array
   memset( the_array, '\0', ARRAY_LENGTH );
 
...is a very efficient way to set all values of the_array to zero.
