// Module Name:
//
//    memcmp.s
//
// Routine Description:
//
//    This function lexically determines two blocks of memory and 
//    returns an integer indicating order. 
//
// Author:
//
//    Jeff Simon   (jhs) 02-Aug-1994
//
// Environment:
//
//    User or Kernel mode.

#include <kxppc.h>

//
// int memcmp (
//     void * src1,
//     void * src2,
//     int
//            )
//
// Arguments:
//
//    SRC1 (r.3) - A pointer to the first block of memory 
//
//    SRC2 (r.4) - A pointer to the second block of memory
//
//    LNGTH (r.5) - Max number of comparison in bytes
//
// Return Value:
//
//    < 0    if SRC1 < SRC2
//    = 0    if SRC1 = SRC2 for LNGTH bytes, or if LNGTH == 0
//    > 0    if SRC1 > SRC2
//
