ИМЯ
memcmp - compare memory areas
БИБЛИОТЕКА
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
СИНТАКСИС
#include <string.h>
int memcmp(const void s1[.n], const void s2[.n], size_t n);
ОПИСАНИЕ
The memcmp() function compares the first n bytes (each
interpreted as unsigned char) of the memory areas s1 and s2.
ЗНАЧЕНИЕ, ВОЗВРАЩАЕМОЕ ФУНКЦИЕЙ
The memcmp() function returns an integer less than, equal to, or
greater than zero if the first n bytes of s1 is found,
respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than the
first n bytes of s2.
For a nonzero return value, the sign is determined by the sign of
the difference between the first pair of bytes (interpreted as
unsigned char) that differ in s1 and s2.
If n is zero, the return value is zero.

ЗАМЕЧАНИЯ
Do not use memcmp() to compare confidential data, such as
cryptographic secrets, because the CPU time required for the
comparison depends on the contents of the addresses compared,
this function is subject to timing-based side-channel attacks.
In such cases, a function that performs comparisons in
deterministic time, depending only on n (the quantity of bytes
compared) is required. Some operating systems provide such a
function (e.g., NetBSD's consttime_memequal()), but no such
function is specified in POSIX. On Linux, you may need to
implement such a function yourself.
