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.
