NAME
bcmp —
compare byte string
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/systm.h>
int
bcmp(
const void
*b1,
const void *b2,
size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The
bcmp() interface is obsolete. Do not add new code using it.
It will soon be purged. Use
memcmp(9) instead. (The
bcmp() function is now a macro for
memcmp(9).)
The
bcmp() function compares byte string
b1 against byte string
b2,
returning zero if they are identical, non-zero otherwise. Both strings are
assumed to be
len bytes long. Zero-length strings are
always identical.
The strings may overlap.
