NAME

6       wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <wchar.h>
10
11       int wcscmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
12

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

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