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.
