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.
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().
