-NAME
+@deftypefn Supplemental int bcmp (char *@var{x}, char *@var{y}, int @var{count})
- bcmp -- compare two memory regions
+Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory. Returns
+zero if they are the same, nonzero otherwise. Returns zero if
+@var{count} is zero. A nonzero result only indicates a difference,
+it does not indicate any sorting order (say, by having a positive
+result mean @var{x} sorts before @var{y}).
-SYNOPSIS
-
- int bcmp (char *from, char *to, int count)
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
- Compare two memory regions and return zero if they are identical,
- non-zero otherwise. If count is zero, return zero.
-
-NOTES
-
- No guarantee is made about the non-zero returned value. In
- particular, the results may be signficantly different than
- strcmp(), where the return value is guaranteed to be less than,
- equal to, or greater than zero, according to lexicographical
- sorting of the compared regions.
