NAME
bcmp - compare byte sequences SYNOPSIS
#include
int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, sizet n); DESCRIPTION The bcmp() function compares the two byte sequences s1 and s2 of length n each. If they are equal, and in particular if n is zero, bcmp() returns 0. Otherwise it returns a nonzero result. RETURN VALUE The bcmp() function returns 0 if the byte sequences are equal, other‐ wise a nonzero result is returned.
