SYNOPSIS
#include<strings.h>
intbcmp(constvoid*s1,constvoid*s2,size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The bcmp() function compares the two byte sequences s1 and s2 of length
n each. If they are equal, and in particular if n is zero, bcmp()
returns 0. Otherwise it returns a non-zero result.
RETURNVALUE
The bcmp() function returns 0 if the byte sequences are equal, other-
wise a non-zero result is returned.
CONFORMINGTO
