5CRYPTO_memcmp - Constant time memory comparison
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 #include <openssl/crypto.h>
10
11 int CRYPTO_memcmp(const void *a, const void *b, size_t len);
12
13=head1 DESCRIPTION
14
15The CRYPTO_memcmp function compares the B<len> bytes pointed to by B<a> and B<b>
16for equality.
17It takes an amount of time dependent on B<len>, but independent of the
18contents of the memory regions pointed to by B<a> and B<b>.
19
20=head1 RETURN VALUES
21
22CRYPTO_memcmp() returns 0 if the memory regions are equal and nonzero
23otherwise.
24
25=head1 NOTES
26
27Unlike memcmp(2), this function cannot be used to order the two memory regions
28as the return value when they differ is undefined, other than being nonzero.
