NAME


       bcmp - compare byte sequences

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       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 non-zero result.

 

RETURN VALUE


       The  bcmp()  function returns 0 if the byte sequences are equal, other-
       wise a non-zero result is returned.

 

CONFORMING TO


       4.3BSD.   This  function   is   deprecated   (marked   as   LEGACY   in
       POSIX.1-2001): use memcmp(3) in new programs.
