7    
8          bcmp -- compare two memory regions  Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory.  Returns
9    zero if they are the same, nonzero otherwise.  Returns zero if
10    @var{count} is zero.  A nonzero result only indicates a difference,
11    it does not indicate any sorting order (say, by having a positive
12    result mean @var{x} sorts before @var{y}).

14  SYNOPSIS  @end deftypefn
   
         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.
