BltClear

Clear a block of memory words to zero.

Declaration

Source position: agraphics.pas line 2030

procedure BltClear(

MemBlock: PByte;

ByteCount: LongWord;

Flags: LongWord

);

Arguments

`MemBlock`		pointer to local memory to be cleared memBlock is assumed to be even.
`ByteCount`		if bit 1 is set to 1: bytecount contains an even number of bytes to clear if bit 1 is set to 0: low 16 bits are taken as number of bytes per row and upper 16 bits are taken as number of rows.
`Flags`		set bit 0 to force function to wait until the blit is done. set bit 1 to use row/bytesperrow.

Description

For memory that is local and blitter accessible, the most efficient way to clear a range of memory locations is to use the system's most efficient data mover, the blitter. This command accepts the starting location and count and clears that block to zeros.
