FUNCTION
<<memcmp>>---compare two memory areas
INDEX
memcmp
ANSI_SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
int memcmp(const void *<[s1]>, const void *<[s2]>, size_t <[n]>);
TRAD_SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
int memcmp(<[s1]>, <[s2]>, <[n]>)
void *<[s1]>;
void *<[s2]>;
size_t <[n]>;
DESCRIPTION
This function compares not more than <[n]> characters of the
object pointed to by <[s1]> with the object pointed to by <[s2]>.
RETURNS
The function returns an integer greater than, equal to or
less than zero according to whether the object pointed to by
<[s1]> is greater than, equal to or less than the object
pointed to by <[s2]>.
PORTABILITY
<<memcmp>> is ANSI C.
<<memcmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
