NAME

       byte_diff - compare two strings

SYNTAX

       #include <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.
