     bcmp - compare byte strings

SYNOPSIS

     int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, int n

DESCRIPTION

     strings  s1  and  s2.   If the two strings are equal, bcmp()
     returns 0, otherwise it returns a non-zero result. If  n  is
     zero, the two strings are assumed to be equal.

RETURN VALUE

     The bcmp() function returns 0 if the strings are equal, oth-
     erwise a non-zero result is returned.
