NAME
bcmp —
compare byte string
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/systm.h>
int
bcmp(const
void *b1, const void
*b2, size_t
len);
DESCRIPTION
The
bcmp()
interface is obsolete. Do not add new code using it. It will soon be purged.
Use memcmp(9) instead. (The bcmp() function is now
a macro for memcmp(9).)The
bcmp()
function compares byte string b1 against byte string
b2, returning zero if they are identical, non-zero
otherwise. Both strings are assumed to be len bytes
long. Zero-length strings are always identical.
The strings may overlap.
