WCSCMP(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual WCSCMP(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
wcscmp — compare two wide-character strings
#include <wchar.h> int wcscmp(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard. The wcscmp() function shall compare the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 to the wide-character string pointed to by ws2. The sign of a non-zero return value shall be determined by the sign of the difference between the values of the first pair of wide- character codes that differ in the objects being compared.
Upon completion, wcscmp() shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, if the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the wide-character string pointed to by ws2, respectively.
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative.
