What exactly is the declaraion of SecureZeroMemory (in 32 bit Windows)

Not a general description of what it does.
Not a general description of why it does what it does.
What exactly is it in CODE (declaration)?
C++11.

Not visual studio any version. Not ".net" anything.

I use ZeroMemory(&wc, sizeof(wc));

I cannot use SecureZeroMemory(&wc, sizeof(wc));

I have read a lot of "find it here" and "here is a link" and none of those work.

I read that it is in this header file or that header file, and when I look it is NOT there.

I read that many other people have looked in those header files and it is NOT there for them also.

If you can use it in YOUR OWN program, then please look up the declaration of it in some header file and post that here (if that is the correct answer that helps me and those many other people looking).

Like this example of the declaration of ZeroMemory:
#define ZeroMemory RtlZeroMemory
Which is further declared via:
#define RtlZeroMemory(d,l) RtlFillMemory((d),(l),0)
Which is further declared via:
#define RtlFillMemory(d,l,f) memset((d), (f), (l))
Which is further defined via:
_CRTIMP void* __cdecl __MINGW_NOTHROW memset (void*, int, size_t);

Not why and how. I know that. I know the WHY and the HOW. What is the declaration?

Thank you.
