!!NAME


wcsncmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include
__''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]''.
