+
+```c
+#include "stdlib/blas/ext/base/cfill.h"
+```
+
+#### c_cfill( N, alpha, \*X, strideX )
+
+Fills a single-precision floating-point strided array `X` with a specified scalar constant `alpha`.
+
+```c
+float x[] = { 1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f, 4.0f };

+
+c_cfill( 2, alpha, (stdlib_complex64_t *)x, 1 );
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
+-   **alpha**: `[in] stdlib_complex64_t` scalar constant.
+-   **X**: `[out] stdlib_complex64_t*` input array.
+-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` index increment for `X`.
+
+```c
+void c_cfill( const CBLAS_INT N, const stdlib_complex64_t alpha, stdlib_complex64_t *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX );
