DESCRIPTION

14       The bcmp() function compares the two byte sequences s1 and s2 of length
15       n each. If they are equal, and in  particular  if  n  is  zero,  bcmp()
16       returns 0. Otherwise it returns a non-zero result.
17

RETURN VALUE

19       The  bcmp()  function returns 0 if the byte sequences are equal, other‐
20       wise a non-zero result is returned.
