DESCRIPTION

14       byte_diff  returns  negative,  0, or positive, depending on whether the
15       string one[0], one[1], ...,  one[len-1]  is  lexicographically  smaller
16       than,  equal  to,  or  greater  than  the  string  one[0], one[1], ...,
17       one[len-1].
18
19       When the strings are different, byte_diff does not read bytes past  the
20       first difference.
