BSTRING(3F)             COMMAND REFERENCE             BSTRING(3F)



NAME
     bstring, bcopy, bcmp, bzero - byte string operations

SYNOPSIS
     subroutine bcopy(s1, s2, length)
     character *(*) s1, s2
     integer length

     integer function bcmp(s1, s2, length)
     character *(*) s1, s2
     integer length

     subroutine bzero(b1, length)
     character *(*) b1
     integer length

DESCRIPTION
     The routines bcopy, bcmp, and bzero operate on variable
     length strings of bytes.

     Bcopy copies length bytes from string s1 to the string s2.

     Bcmp compares byte string s1 against byte string s2,
     returning zero if they are identical, and nonzero otherwise.
     Both strings are assumed to be length bytes long.

     Bzero places length 0 bytes in the string s1.

     Although these subroutines are declared to operate on
     character strings they operate equally well on common blocks
     and arrays, as long as the addresses are properly passed and
     length is the number of bytes to be manipulated.
