NAME

6       CRYPTO_memcmp - Constant time memory comparison
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/crypto.h>
10
11        int CRYPTO_memcmp(const void *a, const void *b, size_t len);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The CRYPTO_memcmp function compares the len bytes pointed to by a and b
15       for equality.  It takes an amount of time dependent on len, but
16       independent of the contents of the memory regions pointed to by a and
17       b.
18

RETURN VALUES

20       CRYPTO_memcmp() returns 0 if the memory regions are equal and nonzero
21       otherwise.
22

NOTES

24       Unlike memcmp(2), this function cannot be used to order the two memory
25       regions as the return value when they differ is undefined, other than
26       being nonzero.
