"otherwise returns the difference between the first two differing bytes"Let's say already bytes b1[0] and b2[0] differ. The manpage doesn't say in which order the difference is calculated. Whether b1[0]-b2[0] or b2[0]-b1[0].
I could live with more specific documentation. Test it (I guess you have already), and post a diff to the man file to bugs@ or by sendbug. Not much work, and it just might make it into the tree.
