   8 Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory.  Returns
   9 zero if they are the same, nonzero otherwise.  Returns zero if
  10 @var{count} is zero.  A nonzero result only indicates a difference,
  11 it does not indicate any sorting order (say, by having a positive
  12 result mean @var{x} sorts before @var{y}).
