NAME

        bcmp -- compare two memory regions

SYNOPSIS

        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.
