! bcmp() Author: Kees J. Bot

! int bcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n)
! Compare two chunks of memory.
! This is a BSD routine that escaped from the kernel. Don't use.
! (Alas it is not without some use, it reports the number of bytes
! after the bytes that are equal. So it can't be simply replaced.)
