- /* File : bzero.c
- Author : Richard A. O'Keefe.
- Updated: 23 April 1984
- 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.
