sockets question

I am using

struct sockaddr_in Target;
bzero((unsigned char*) & Target,sizeof(Target));

What is its alternative if i use memset

Can any one tell me what was the reason why bzero was deprecated?

memset((&Target, 0, sizeof(Target));

???????

Dont know about second question, maybe read the source? maybe it had a problem there.

memset() conforms to ISO standards where as bzero() does not. I'm sure the reason it was deprecated was because a standard function to accomplish the same thing already existed (memset()).
