I shamelessly took inspiration from coreutils.
How is that okay, isn't coreutils GPL-licensed?
Well, I only took inspiration in that code, I haven't copied it. But this idea of using memcmp() is quite old and described for instance in this blog post too:

Do you want to switch to something else instead? If so, how can we make sure it's not already somewhere in a code with incompatible license?
I think the current code is fine as it is simple logic. If someone described the algorithm you'd end up doing it the same way Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
