 memicmp()               Compare Characters in Two Buffers

 #include   <memory.h>                   Required for declarations only
 #include   <string.h>                   Use either string.h or memory.h

 int        memicmp(buf1,buf2,cnt);
 void       *buf1;                       First buffer;
 void       *buf2;                       Second buffer;
 unsigned   cnt;                         Number of characters

    memicmp() performs a case-insensitive lexicographic comparison of
    'cnt' characters of 'buf1' and 'buf2'.  memicmp() differs from
    memcmp() in that case does not count in memicmp(); that is, 'a'
    equals 'A' in memicmp().

    Returns:    An integer value indicating the relationship between the
                two buffers:

                       Result    Return Value
                    buf1 <  buf2    < 0
                    buf1 == buf2      0
                    buf1 >  buf2    > 0

 Portability:   Not supported by ANSI standard.

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements compares the first 35 characters of 'buffr1'
    and 'buffr2'.

           #include <memory.h>

           char buffr1[40] = "Now is the time for all good men...";
           char buffr2[40] = "NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN...";
           int rslt;

           main()
           {
                rslt = memicmp(buffr1,buffr2,35);
                if (rslt == 0)
                    printf("buffers are equal");
                else
                    printf("buffers are not equal");
           }
