NAME
       memfill - fill memory area with pattern

SYNOPSIS
       #include <publib.h>
       void *memfill(void *buf, size_t size, const void *pat, size_t patsize);

DESCRIPTION
       memfill copies consecutive bytes from the pattern pat to consecutive
       bytes in the memory area buf, wrapping around in pat when its end is
       reached.  patsize is the size of the pattern, size is the size of the
       memory area.  The pattern and the memory area must not be overlapping.

RETURN VALUE
       memfill returns its first argument.

EXAMPLE
       To initialize an integer array one might do the following.

            int temp, array[1024];

            temp = 1234;
            memfill(array, sizeof(array), &temp, sizeof(temp));
