3 <<memcmp>>---compare two memory areas
10 int memcmp(const void *<[s1]>, const void *<[s2]>, size_t <[n]>);
14 int memcmp(<[s1]>, <[s2]>, <[n]>)
20 This function compares not more than <[n]> characters of the
21 object pointed to by <[s1]> with the object pointed to by <[s2]>.
25 The function returns an integer greater than, equal to or
26 less than zero according to whether the object pointed to by
27 <[s1]> is greater than, equal to or less than the object
33 <<memcmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
