+/* 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.
