Yes, but let's completely avoid mentioning memcmp in the summary.

The sign or magnitude of a non-zero return value has no particular meaning, and architectures may implement their own more efficient bcmp(). So while this particular implementation is a simple (tail) call to memcmp, do not rely on anything but whether the return value is zero or non-zero.
