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