This can be further optimized by using memcmp in place of strncmp, since from
the length check you know that you won't see the null terminator among the three
chars you're checking.
The compiler can expand memcmp(buf, "abc", 3) inline as two comparisons against
a 16-bit immediate and an 8-bit immediate. It can't do the same for strncmp.
