<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>strcmp</B>()
|
|
|
|
function compares the two strings
|
|
<I>s1</I>
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
<I>s2</I>.
|
|
|
|
The locale is not taken into account (for a locale-aware comparison, see
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+strcoll">strcoll</A></B>(3)).
|
|
|
|
It returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater
|
|
than zero if
|
|
<I>s1</I>
|
|
|
|
is found, respectively, to be less than,
|
|
to match, or be greater than
|
|
<I>s2</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>strncmp</B>()
|
|
|
|
function is similar, except it compares
|
|
only the first (at most)
|
|
<I>n</I>
|
|
|
|
bytes of
|
|
<I>s1</I>
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
<I>s2</I>.

<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|

|
The
|
|
<B>strcmp</B>()
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
<B>strncmp</B>()
|
|
|
|
functions return an integer
|
|
less than, equal to, or greater than zero if
|
|
<I>s1</I>
|
|
|
|
(or the first
|
|
<I>n</I>
|
|
|
|
bytes thereof) is found, respectively, to be less than, to
|
|
match, or be greater than
|
|
<I>s2</I>.
