✨ byte_zero(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual entry for byte_zero πŸ’– this one's short and sweet, like a lil snack, so let's go


🌸 NAME 🌸

byte_zero β€” initialize a string 🫢


πŸŽ€ SYNTAX πŸŽ€

#include <libowfat/byte.h>

void byte_zero(char *out,size_t len);

like, that's the whole vibe. include the header, call the function, done πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea: byte_zero sets out[0], out[1], ..., out[len-1] to 0. 🧚

that's it. that's the whole function. it's giving "zero out this many bytes and let me live my life." no cap, every single one of those bytes from index 0 all the way up to index len-1 gets set to 0 β€” `iconic behavior honestly ⭐


πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

go read those too, they're the siblings and they also slay 🌈


ok and that's the whole page fr fr β€” no warnings, no bugs to report, no drama. just a tiny lil zeroing function living its best life 😌

signing off from the Library Functions Manual, where this page lives as byte_zero(3) β€” no version number and no date on this one, just pure manual-page energy πŸŽ€βœ¨ mwah, bye bestie πŸ’–
