.SH NAME
libsimple_strnset, libsimple_stpnset \- fill a string with a character

.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libsimple.h>

static inline char *libsimple_strnset(char *\fIs\fP, int \fIc\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);
static inline char *libsimple_stpnset(char *\fIs\fP, int \fIc\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);

Link with
.IR \-lsimple .

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_strnset ()
and
.BR libsimple_stpnset ()
functions replace the
.I n
characters in the string
.I s
(or all characters if
.I s
is shorter) with the character
.IR c .

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_strnset ()
function returns the pointer
.IR s .
The
.BR libsimple_strnset ()
function returns the end of
.I s
(that is
.IR &s[strnlen(s,n)] ,
as evaluated before the function call.

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_strnset ()
and
.BR libsimple_stpnset ()
functions cannot fail.
