Which function:
	Equivalent to the function "memset" in string.h.
Definition:
	The  memset()  function  fills  the  first  n  bytes of the memory area
	pointed to by s with the constant byte c.
Return values:
	Returns a pointer to the memory area s.
@param s A pointer to the memory area.
@param c The byte value to fill the memory area.
@param n How many bytes to be filled with c.
