CRTL, wcscmp
*Conan The Librarian
|
Compares two wide-character strings. It returns an integer that
indicates if the strings are different, and how they differ.
Format
#include <wchar.h>
int wcscmp (const wchar_t *wstr_1, const wchar_t *wstr_2);
wstr_1, wstr_2
Pointers to null-terminated wide-character strings.
The wcscmp function compares the wide characters in wstr_1 with
those in wstr_2. If the characters differ, the function returns:
o An integer less than 0, if the codepoint of the first
differing character in wstr_1 is less than the codepoint of
the corresponding character in wstr_2
o An integer greater than 0, if the codepoint of the first
differing character in wstr_1 is greater than the codepoint
of the corresponding character in wstr_2
If the wide-characters strings are identical, the function
returns 0.
Unlike the wcscoll function, the wcscmp function compares the
string based on the binary value of each wide character.
See also wcsncmp.
< 0 Indicates that wstr_1 is less than wstr_2.
> 0 Indicates that wstr_1 is greater than wstr_2.
