NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION RETURN VALUE CONFORMING TO SEE ALSO
strcmp, strncmp - compare two strings
#include s1, const char *s2); int strncmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);
The strcmp() function compares the two strings s1 and s2. It returns an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.
The strncmp() function is similar, except it only compares the first n characters of s1.
The strcmp() and strncmp() functions return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 (or the first n bytes thereof) is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.
