memset vs calloc

[Salvi]

Dear Friends,
Can any one tell me the difference between memset and calloc function in C.

calloc does memory allocation, memset does not.

[JosAH]

The calloc function allocates memory and sets all of its bits to zero. The
memset function sets n bytes of some memory (whether allocated, on the
stack or whereever) to a certain value.

kind regards,

Jos
