BltClear - Clear a block of memory words to zero.
BltClear( memBlock, bytecount, flags ) a1 d0 d1 void BltClear( void *, ULONG, ULONG );
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.
memBloc - pointer to local memory to be cleared memBlock is assumed to be even. flags - set bit 0 to force function to wait until the blit is done. set bit 1 to use row/bytesperrow. bytecount - if (flags & 2) == 0 then even number of bytes to clear. else low 16 bits is taken as number of bytes per row and upper 16 bits taken as number of rows. This function is somewhat hardware dependent. In the rows/bytesperrow mode (with the pre-ECS blitter) rows must be <- 1024. In bytecount mode multiple runs of the blitter may be used to clear all the memory. Set bit 2 to use the upper 16 bits of the Flags as the data to fill memory with instead of 0 (V36).
The block of memory is initialized.
