NAME
       bcmp - compare byte sequences

SYNOPSIS
       #include <strings.h>

       int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  bcmp()  function  compares	the  two  byte sequences s1 and s2 of
       length n each. If they are equal, and in	 particular  if	 n  is	zero,
       bcmp() returns 0. Otherwise it returns a non-zero result.

RETURN VALUE
       The  bcmp() function returns 0 if the byte sequences are equal, other-
       wise a non-zero result is returned.

CONFORMING TO
       4.3BSD.	This function is deprecated -- use memcmp in new programs.
