   8 Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory.  Returns
   9 zero if they are the same, a value less than zero if @var{x} is
  10 lexically less than @var{y}, or a value greater than zero if @var{x}
  11 is lexically greater than @var{y}.  Note that lexical order is determined
  12 as if comparing unsigned char arrays.
