NAME

12       wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <wchar.h>
16
17       int wcscmp(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);
18
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The wcscmp() function shall compare the wide-character  string  pointed
22       to by ws1 to the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.
23
24       The  sign of a non-zero return value shall be determined by the sign of
25       the difference between the values of the first pair  of  wide-character
26       codes that differ in the objects being compared.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       Upon  completion,  wcscmp() shall return an integer greater than, equal
30       to, or less than 0, if the wide-character string pointed to by  ws1  is
31       greater  than, equal to, or less than the wide-character string pointed
32       to by ws2, respectively.
