DESCRIPTION
The byte string functions perform operations on strings
(byte arrays) that are not necessarily null-terminated. See
the individual man pages for descriptions of each
function.
NOTES
The functions bcmp
(),
bcopy
() and bzero
() are obsolete. Use memcmp
(), memcpy
() and memset
() instead.
