NAME

     bcmp -- compare byte string

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <strings.h>

     int
     bcmp(const void *b1, const void *b2, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION

     The bcmp() function compares byte string b1 against byte string b2, returning zero if they are identical, non-zero otherwise.  Both strings
     are assumed to be len bytes long.	Zero-length strings are always identical.

     The strings may overlap.

SEE ALSO

     memcmp(3), strcasecmp(3), strcmp(3), strcoll(3), strxfrm(3), timingsafe_bcmp(3)

HISTORY

     A bcmp() function first appeared in 4.2BSD.  Its prototype existed previously in <string.h> before it was moved to <strings.h> for IEEE Std
     1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') compliance.

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, otherwise a nonzero result is returned.

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  specifi-
       cation of bcmp().
