2 FUNCTION
3 <<memcmp>>---compare two memory areas
5 INDEX
6 memcmp
8 ANSI_SYNOPSIS
9 #include <string.h>
10 int memcmp(const void *<[s1]>, const void *<[s2]>, size_t <[n]>);
12 TRAD_SYNOPSIS
13 #include <string.h>
14 int memcmp(<[s1]>, <[s2]>, <[n]>)
15 void *<[s1]>;
16 void *<[s2]>;
17 size_t <[n]>;
19 DESCRIPTION
20 This function compares not more than <[n]> characters of the
21 object pointed to by <[s1]> with the object pointed to by <[s2]>.
24 RETURNS
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
28 pointed to by <[s2]>.
30 PORTABILITY
31 <<memcmp>> is ANSI C.
33 <<memcmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
