> Can anyone justify the existence of memset(3) in libc? Memset is in the C standard; bzero is not. End of story.
Bzero is justly deprecated on the man page I have (2008-08-06 via Red Hat). I avoid bzero and compile with "gcc -std=c17 -Wall -pedantic -extra" to raise a flag when I stray from the standard. Finally, please note that groff is the wrong forum for discussing the design of C. Doug
