NAME

       bcmp - General: Compares two byte strings

SYNOPSIS

       int bcmp(
	       char *b1,
	       char *b2,
	       int n );

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies  a  pointer  to  a byte string (array of characters).	Specifies a pointer to a byte string (array of characters).  Specifies the
       number of bytes to be compared.

DESCRIPTION

       The bcmp routine compares byte string b1 to byte string b2. The routine compares exactly n bytes. No check is made for null bytes.

RETURN VALUES

       If the first n bytes of b1 and b2 are equal, the bcmp routine returns the value 0 (zero). Otherwise, it returns a nonzero integer.

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.
