Introduction to Library Functions                          MEM(3)

NAME
     mem - fixed string routines

SYNOPSIS
          #include <ast.h>

          void    mematoe(void* out, const void* in, size_t n);
          void*   memdup(const void* buf, size_t n)
          void    memetoa(void* out, const void* in, size_t n);
          void*   memzero(void* buf, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
     mematoe converts n ASCII characters in in to EBCDIC  charac-
     ters in out.  in and out may be the same.

     memdup copies the n byte buffer buf to a new  location  pro-
     vided by malloc(3) and returns a pointer to the new copy.  0
     is returned if malloc(3) fails.

     memetoa converts n EBCDIC characters in in to ASCII  charac-
     ters in out.  in and out may be the same.

     memzero sets the first n bytes in buf to 0.
