@deftypefn Supplemental int memcmp (const void *@var{x}, const void *@var{y}, size_t @var{count})
8
Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory. Returns
9
zero if they are the same, a value less than zero if @var{x} is
10
lexically less than @var{y}, or a value greater than zero if @var{x}
11
is lexically greater than @var{y}. Note that lexical order is determined
12
as if comparing unsigned char arrays.
