byte_diff(3)		    Library Functions Manual		    byte_diff(3)

NAME
     byte_diff - compare two strings

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/byte.h>

     int byte_diff(const char *one,size_t len,const char *two);

DESCRIPTION
     byte_diff returns negative, 0, or positive, depending on whether the string
     one[0],  one[1],  ...,  one[len-1] is lexicographically smaller than, equal
     to, or greater than the string one[0], one[1], ..., one[len-1].

     When the strings are different, byte_diff does  not  read	bytes  past  the
     first difference.
