WCSNCMP(P)          Linux Programmer's Manual          WCSNCMP(P)



NAME
       wcsncmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcsncmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  wcsncmp  function is the wide-character equivalent of
       the  strncmp  function.  It  compares  the  wide-character
       string  pointed  to  by  s1  and the wide-character string
       pointed to by s2, but at most n wide characters from  each
       string.  In each string, the comparison extends only up to
       the first occurrence of a L'\0' character, if any.

RETURN VALUE
       The wcsncmp function returns zero  if  the  wide-character
       strings  at  s1 and s2, truncated to at most length n, are
       equal.  It returns an integer greater than zero if at  the
       first  differing  position  i  (i  < n), 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 (i < n), the corresponding wide-character s1[i] is  less
       than s2[i].
