The _f... form can be called from any point in the program. The _memicmp and _fmemicmp functions are the case-insensitive versions of memcmp and _fmemcmp. There is a semantic difference between the function version of memcmp and its intrinsic version. The function version supports huge pointers in compact- and large-model programs, but the intrinsic version does not. Return Value These functions return an integer value, as described above. -♦-
