| | 45 | .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| | 46 | .In strings.h |
| | 47 | .Ft int |
| | 48 | .Fn bcmp "const void *s1" "const void *s2" "size_t n" |
| | 49 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| | 50 | The |
| | 51 | .Fn bcmp |
| | 52 | function |
| | 53 | compares byte string |
| | 54 | .Fa s1 |
| | 55 | against byte string |
| | 56 | .Fa s2 , |
| | 57 | returning zero if they are identical, non-zero otherwise. |
| | 58 | Both strings are assumed to be |
| | 59 | .Fa n |
| | 60 | bytes long. |
| | 61 | Zero-length strings are always identical. |
| | 62 | .Pp |
| | 63 | The strings may overlap. |
