APPLICATION USAGE

       The memset() function is preferred over this function.

       For  maximum  portability,  it  is  recommended to replace the function call to bzero() as
       follows:

              #define bzero(b,len) (memset((b), '\0', (len)), (void) 0)

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       This function may be withdrawn in a future version.
