PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of
       this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux  manual  page  for  details  of
       Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       wmemset — set wide characters in memory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemset(wchar_t *ws, wchar_t wc, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any
       conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is  unintentional.
       This volume of POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The wmemset() function shall copy the value of wc into each of the first n wide characters
       of the object pointed to by ws.  This function shall not be affected  by  locale  and  all
       wchar_t  values  shall  be treated identically. The null wide character and wchar_t values
       not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated specially.

       If n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws is a valid pointer,  and  the  function
       shall copy zero wide characters.

RETURN VALUE

       The wmemset() functions shall return the value of ws.
