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

DESCRIPTION

20       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
21       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
22       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2017
23       defers to the ISO C standard.
24
25       The  wcscmp()  function shall compare the wide-character string pointed
26       to by ws1 to the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.
27
28       The sign of a non-zero return value shall be determined by the sign  of
29       the  difference  between the values of the first pair of wide-character
30       codes that differ in the objects being compared.
31

RETURN VALUE

33       Upon completion, wcscmp() shall return an integer greater  than,  equal
34       to,  or  less than 0, if the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 is
35       greater than, equal to, or less than the wide-character string  pointed
36       to by ws2, respectively.
