=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CRYPTO_memcmp - Constant time memory comparison
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <openssl/crypto.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int CRYPTO_memcmp(const void *a, const void *b, size_t len);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CRYPTO_memcmp function compares the B<len> bytes pointed to by B<a> and B<b>
|
||
|
|
for equality.
|
||
|
|
It takes an amount of time dependent on B<len>, but independent of the
|
||
|
|
contents of the memory regions pointed to by B<a> and B<b>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CRYPTO_memcmp() returns 0 if the memory regions are equal and non-zero
|
||
|
|
otherwise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike memcmp(2), this function cannot be used to order the two memory regions
|
||
|
|
as the return value when they differ is undefined, other than being non-zero.
