byte_zero β initialize a string π«Ά
π SYNTAX π
#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 π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so here's the tea: byte_zero sets out[0], out[1], ..., out[len-1] to 0. π§
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 β
π SEE ALSO π
go read those too, they're the siblings and they also slay π
