bcmp - compare byte sequences

  #include <strings.h>

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

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 nonzero result.

The *bcmp*() function returns 0 if the byte sequences are equal, otherwise a nonzero result is returned.

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see *attributes*(7).

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*().
