DESCRIPTION

15       The  wcscmp()  function shall compare the wide-character string pointed
16       to by ws1 to the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.
17
18       The sign of a non-zero return value shall be determined by the sign  of
19       the  difference  between the values of the first pair of wide-character
20       codes that differ in the objects being compared.
21

RETURN VALUE

23       Upon completion, wcscmp() shall return an integer greater  than,  equal
24       to,  or  less than 0, if the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 is
25       greater than, equal to, or less than the wide-character string  pointed
