NAME
bcmp - compare byte sequences
SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h>
int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t 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.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The bcmp() function is thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD. This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in
POSIX.1-2001): use memcmp(3) in new programs. POSIX.1-2008 removes the
specification of bcmp().
