MEM(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is mem(3) from the Library Functions Manual, bestie — and the name is mem, aka fixed string routines. It’s giving very specific, very useful, no-cap string energy. 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ast.h>

void    mematoe(void* out, const void* in, size_t n);
void*   memdup(const void* buf, size_t n)
void    memetoa(void* out, const void* in, size_t n);
void*   memzero(void* buf, size_t n);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• mematoe — converts n ASCII characters in in to EBCDIC characters in out. And yes bestie, in and out may be the same, so in-place glow-up is allowed. 🔥
• memdup — copies the n byte buffer buf to a new location provided by malloc(3) and returns a pointer to the new copy. If malloc(3) fails, 0 is returned. 😭💀
• memetoa — converts n EBCDIC characters in in to ASCII characters in out. Again, in and out may be the same. ✨
• memzero — sets the first n bytes in buf to 0. Clean-slate, fresh-start, reset-the-vibe behavior. 🫶🎀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Proposed Bell Laboratories ASCII/EBCDIC standard, April 16, 1979.
• str(3), vmalloc(3)

That’s the whole MEM(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, bestie — the footer didn’t list a separate source/version or date, so we’re signing off right here. Bye, love you, read your man pages 💅💖🦋
