mem(3ast)

NAME

mem - fixed string routines

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. in and out may be the same.

memdup copies the n byte buffer buf to a new location provided by malloc(3) and returns a pointer to the new copy. 0 is returned if malloc(3) fails.

memetoa converts n EBCDIC characters in in to ASCII characters in out. in and out may be the same.

memzero sets the first n bytes in buf to 0.
