It takes an amount of time dependent on <b>len</b>, but independent of the contents of the memory regions pointed to by <b>a</b> and <b>b</b>.</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>CRYPTO_memcmp() returns 0 if the memory regions are equal and nonzero otherwise.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>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 nonzero.</p> <h1 id="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</h1> <p>Copyright 2019-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
