cmp command
===========
Synopsis
--------
::
cmp [.b, .w, .l, .q] addr1 addr2 count
Description
-----------
The cmp command is used to compare two memory areas. By default it works on
four byte tuples. By appending .b, .w, .l, .q the size of the tuples is
controlled:
cmp.b
compare 1 byte tuples
cmp.w
compare 2 byte tuples
cmp.l
compare 4 byte tuples
cmp.q
compare 8 byte tuples
The parameters are used as follows:
addr1
Address of the first memory area.
addr2
Address of the second memory area.
count
Number of bytes to compare (as hexadecimal number).
Example
-------
In the example below the strings "Hello world\n" and "Hello World\n" are written
to memory and then compared.

Configuration
-------------
The cmp command is only available if CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY=y. The cmp.q command is
only available if additionally CONFIG_MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA=y.
Return value
------------
The return value $? is true (0) if the compared memory areas are equal.
The reutrn value is false (1) if the compared memory areas differ.
