wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <wchar.h>
int wcscmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
The wcscmp() function returns zero if the
wide-character strings at s1
and s2
are equal. It
returns an integer greater than zero if at the first differing position
i
, the corresponding wide-character s1[i]
is greater
than s2[i]
. It returns an integer less than zero if at the
first differing position i
, the corresponding wide-character
s1[i]
is less than s2[i]
.
