+NAME
+
+	bcmp -- compare two memory regions
+
+SYNOPSIS
+
+	int bcmp (char *from, char *to, int count)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+	Compare two memory regions and return zero if they are identical,
+	non-zero otherwise.  If count is zero, return zero.
+
+NOTES
+
+	No guarantee is made about the non-zero returned value.  In
+	particular, the results may be signficantly different than
+	strcmp(), where the return value is guaranteed to be less than,
+	equal to, or greater than zero, according to lexicographical
+	sorting of the compared regions.
