How to clear out char array with memset : <p>I'm looking for a method to clear a char array similar to how in python you would do the following:</p>

<pre><code>buffer = ""
</code></pre>

<p>Is using memset the best approach for this, or is there another builtin function/method I'm missing?</p>

<p>What Ive tried:</p>

<pre><code> memset(buf, '\n', sizeof(char));
</code></pre>
