+/* memcmp(lhs, rhs, len)
+ compares the two memory areas lhs[0..len-1] ?? rhs[0..len-1]. 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.
