wcscmp(3)

NAME

   wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS

   #include <wchar.h>

   int wcscmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);

DESCRIPTION

   The wcscmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcmp(3)
   function.  It compares the wide-character string pointed to by  s1  and
   the wide-character string pointed to by s2.

RETURN VALUE

   The  wcscmp() function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1
   and s2 are equal.  It returns an integer greater than zero  if  at  the
   first  differing  position i, the corresponding wide-character s1[i] is
   greater than s2[i].  It returns an integer less than  zero  if  at  the
   first  differing  position i, the corresponding wide-character s1[i] is
   less than s2[i].
