Returns 9zero if they are the same, a value less than zero if @var{x} is 10lexically less than @var{y}, or a value greater than zero if @var{x} 11is lexically greater than @var{y}. Note that lexical order is determined 12as if comparing unsigned char arrays. 13 14@end deftypefn 15 16*/ 17 18#include <ansidecl.h> 19#ifdef ANSI_PROTOTYPES 20#include <stddef.h> 21#else 22#define size_t unsigned long 23#endif 24 25int 26memcmp (str1, str2, count) 27 const PTR str1; 28 const PTR str2; 29 size_t count; 30{ 31 register const unsigned char *s1 = (const unsigned char*)str1; 32 register const unsigned char *s2 = (const unsigned char*)str2; 33 34 while (count-- > 0) 35 { 36 if (*s1++ != *s2++) 37 return s1[-1] < s2[-1] ? -1 : 1; 38 } 39 return 0; 40} 41 42
