Speaking of ex FUN! in string.h we define:
int _EXFUN(bcmp,(const char *, const char *, size_t));
void _EXFUN(bcopy,(const char *, char *, size_t));
void _EXFUN(bzero,(char *, size_t));
but both linux and netbsd use:
int _EXFUN(bcmp,(const void *, const void *, size_t));
void _EXFUN(bcopy,(const void *, void *, size_t));
void _EXFUN(bzero,(void *, size_t));
which does seem more appropriate for the definitions. The "cons char *,
causes the need for endless casts in some programs I'm porting. Could
I propose that we pick up the definition that the other OS's use. What
is thetechnical reason for our choices.
