strinit3pub
Initialize a string with a given character to a given length
Usage
#include <publib.h>
char *strinit(char *s, int c, size_t len) {
Overview
strinit initializes the string pointed to by s to be of length len, all characters being c, where the terminating '\0' is not included in the length, i.e., the string will use len+1 characters.
Return value
strinit will return s.
Examples
To initialize a string to consist of twenty underscores, one would do the following.
#include <publib.h> char string[21]; /* note 21 to make room for '\0' */ strinit(string, '_', 20);
