       bcmp - General: Compares two byte strings

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

ARGUMENTS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies  a  pointer  to  a byte string (array of characters).
  Specifies a pointer to a  byte  string  (array  of

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
