• NAME
  
  bcmp - compare byte sequences
• SYNOPSIS
  

  
   #include <strings.h>
  
   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,
  otherwise 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.
  POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of
  bcmp ().
