The
bcmp()
function compares the two byte sequences
s1
and
s2
of length
n
each.
If they are equal, and in particular if
n
is zero,
bcmp()
returns 0.
Otherwise it returns a non-zero result.
RETURN VALUE
The
bcmp()
function returns 0 if the byte sequences are equal,
otherwise a non-zero result is returned.
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD.
This function is deprecated (marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001): use
memcmp(3)
in new programs.
POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of
bcmp().
This page is part of release 3.14 of the Linux
