44 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | ||
45 | .Fd #include <string.h> | ||
46 | .Ft int | ||
47 | .Fn memcmp "const void *b1" "const void *b2" "size_t len" | ||
48 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
49 | The | ||
50 | .Fn memcmp | ||
51 | function | ||
52 | compares byte string | ||
53 | .Fa b1 | ||
54 | against byte string | ||
55 | .Fa b2 . | ||
56 | Both strings are assumed to be | ||
57 | .Fa len | ||
58 | bytes long. | ||
59 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | ||
60 | The | ||
61 | .Fn memcmp | ||
62 | function | ||
63 | returns zero if the two strings are identical, | ||
64 | otherwise returns the difference between the first two differing bytes | ||
65 | (treated as unsigned char values, so that | ||
66 | .Sq Li \e200 | ||
67 | is greater than | ||
68 | .Sq Li \&\e0 , | ||
69 | for example). | ||
70 | Zero-length strings are always identical. | ||
