/*

@deftypefn Supplemental int memcmp (const void *@var{x}, const void *@var{y}, size_t @var{count})

Compares the first @var{count} bytes of two areas of memory.  Returns

zero if they are the same, a value less than zero if @var{x} is

lexically less than @var{y}, or a value greater than zero if @var{x}

is lexically greater than @var{y}.  Note that lexical order is determined

as if comparing unsigned char arrays.
