NAME
repchar -- repeat a character n times to fd

SYNOPSIS
void repchar(chr, qty, fd);
char chr; character to send
int qty; number of characters to send
FILE *fd; file descriptor of output channel

DESCRIPTION
This function sends qty number of chr to fd, which is usually
stdout, stderr, or an open file. Maximum qty is 128.
If qty > 128, it will be truncated to 128. This limit is due
to an internal string buffer. For speed, the string is filled
and then fputs() is called to output the data as a string.

EXAMPLE

repchar('X', 50, stdout);

to output a double horizontal line:
#include "graphics.h"
repchar(DHLINE, 50, stdout);












This function is found in SMTCx.LIB for the Turbo-C Compiler.
