+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The byte string functions perform operations on strings (byte arrays)
+that are not necessarily null-terminated.
+See the individual man pages
+for descriptions of each function.
+.SH NOTES
+The functions
+.BR bcmp ()
+and
+.BR bcopy ()
+are obsolete.
+Use
+.BR memcmp ()
+and
+.BR memmove ()
+instead.
+.\" The old functions are not even available on some non-GNU/Linux systems.
