NAME
       bcmp - compare byte strings

SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>

       int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  bcmp()  function  compares	the  first n bytes of the strings s1 and s2.  If the two strings are equal, bcmp() returns 0, otherwise it
       returns a non-zero result.  If n is zero, the two strings are assumed to be equal.

RETURN VALUE
       The bcmp() function returns 0 if the strings are equal, otherwise a non-zero result is returned.
