+FUNCTION
+	<<memcmp>>---compare two memory areas
+
+INDEX
+	memcmp
+
+SYNOPSIS
+	#include <string.h>
+	int memcmp(const void *<[s1]>, const void *<[s2]>, size_t <[n]>);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+	This function compares not more than <[n]> characters of the
+	object pointed to by <[s1]> with the object pointed to by <[s2]>.
+
+
+RETURNS
+	The function returns an integer greater than, equal to or
+	less than zero 	according to whether the object pointed to by
+	<[s1]> is greater than, equal to or less than the object
+	pointed to by <[s2]>.
+
+PORTABILITY
+<<memcmp>> is ANSI C.
+
+<<memcmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
