memcmp — compare
byte string
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
#include
<string.h>
int
memcmp(const
void *b1, const void
*b2, size_t
len);
The
memcmp()
function compares byte string b1 against byte string
b2. Both strings are assumed to be
len bytes long.
The memcmp() function returns zero if the
two strings are identical, otherwise returns the difference between the
first two differing bytes (treated as unsigned char
values, so that ‘\200’ is greater than
‘\0’, for example). Zero-length
strings are always identical.

The memcmp() function conforms to
ISO/IEC 9899:1990
(“ISO C90”).
