bzero.c

Many C samples. It is a good sample for students to learn C language.

    Defines: bzero()

    bzero(dst, len) moves "len" 0 bytes to "dst".
    Thus to clear a disc buffer to 0s do bzero(buffer, BUFSIZ).

    Note: the "b" routines are there to exploit certain VAX order codes,
    but the MOVC5 instruction will only move 65535 characters.   The asm
    code is presented for your interest and amusement.
