WCSCMP(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                WCSCMP(3)

NAME         top

       wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS         top

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

DESCRIPTION         top

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

RETURN VALUE         top

       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].
