It returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than 0 according as lhs[-] is lexicographically less than, equal to, or greater than rhs[-]. Note that this is not at all the same as bcmp, which tells you *where* the difference is but not what. Note: suppose we have int x, y; then memcmp(&x, &y, sizeof x) need not bear any relation to x-y. This is because byte order is machine dependent, and also, some machines have integer representations that are shorter than a machine word and two equal integers might have different values in the spare bits. On a ones complement machine, -0 == 0, but the bit patterns are different. */ #include "strings.h" #if !defined(HAVE_MEMCPY) int memcmp(lhs, rhs, len) register char *lhs, *rhs; register int len; { while (--len >= 0) if (*lhs++ != *rhs++) return (uchar) lhs[-1] - (uchar) rhs[-1]; return 0; } #endif
