.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
