BCMP(3)                   386BSD Programmer's Manual                   BCMP(3)

NAME
     bcmp - compare byte string

SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.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.
