LIBRARY

10

SYNOPSIS

12       #include <wchar.h>
13
14       int wcscmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
15

DESCRIPTION

17       The wcscmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcmp(3)
18       function.  It compares the wide-character string pointed to by  s1  and
19       the wide-character string pointed to by s2.
20

RETURN VALUE

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