- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf

- wchar_t *wmemset(wchar_t *\fIws\fP, wchar_t \fIwc\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
- ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
- ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- The
- \fIwmemset\fR()
- function shall copy the value of
- .IR wc
- into each of the first
- .IR n
- wide characters of the object pointed to by
- .IR ws .
- This function shall not be affected by locale and all
- .BR wchar_t
- values shall be treated identically. The null wide character and
- .BR wchar_t
- values not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated
- specially.
- .P
- If
- .IR n
- is zero, the application shall ensure that
- .IR ws
- is a valid pointer, and the function shall copy zero wide characters.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- The
- \fIwmemset\fR()
- functions shall return the value of
- .IR ws .
- .SH ERRORS
- No errors are defined.
