+### Usage
+
+```c
+#include "stdlib/blas/ext/base/dfill.h"
+```
+
+#### c_dfill( N, alpha, \*X, strideX )
+
+Fills a double-precision floating-point strided array `X` with a specified scalar constant `alpha`.
+
+```c
+double x[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };
+
+c_dfill( 4, 5.0, x, 1 );
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
+-   **alpha**: `[in] double` scalar constant.
+-   **X**: `[out] double*` input array.
+-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` index increment for `X`.
+
+```c
+void c_dfill( const CBLAS_INT N, const double alpha, double *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX );
+```
+
+#### c_dfill_ndarray( N, alpha, \*X, strideX, offsetX )
+
+Fills a double-precision floating-point strided array `X` with a specified scalar constant `alpha` using alternative indexing semantics.
+
+```c
+double x[] = { 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 };
+
+c_dfill_ndarray( 4, 5.0, x, 1, 0 );
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **N**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` number of indexed elements.
+-   **alpha**: `[in] double` scalar constant.
+-   **X**: `[out] double*` input array.
+-   **strideX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` index increment for `X`.
+-   **offsetX**: `[in] CBLAS_INT` starting index for `X`.
+

+void c_dfill_ndarray( const CBLAS_INT N, const double alpha, double *X, const CBLAS_INT strideX, const CBLAS_INT offsetX );
