NAME
       wmemset - set wide characters in memory

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *wmemset(wchar_t *ws, wchar_t wc, size_t n);


DESCRIPTION
       The wmemset() function shall copy the value of wc into each of the first n wide characters
       of the object pointed to by ws. This function shall not be  affected  by  locale  and  all
       wchar_t  values  shall be treated identically.  The null wide character and wchar_t values
       not corresponding to valid characters shall not be treated specially.

       If n is zero, the application shall ensure that ws is a valid pointer,  and  the  function
       shall copy zero wide characters.

RETURN VALUE
       The wmemset() functions shall return the value of ws.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
