Considering that the rest of the page is there just to say this function is deprecated and even removed from POSIX, I guess a suggestion to use 'it' can only mean use the other one, that is, memcmp(3). Here's the entire page: bcmp(3) Library Functions Manual bcmp(3) NAME bcmp - compare byte sequences LIBRARY Standard C library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS #include <strings.h> [[deprecated]] int bcmp(const void s1[.n], const void s2[.n], size_t n); DESCRIPTION bcmp() is identical to memcmp(3); use it instead. STANDARDS None. HISTORY 4.3BSD. Marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1‐2001; removed in POSIX.1‐2008. SEE ALSO memcmp(3) Linux man‐pages (unreleased) (date) bcmp(3) Cheers, Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
