STRCMP 3 ""
C 4 NAME
strcmp - compare strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> int strcmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);
DESCRIPTION
Strcmp compares null-terminated strings
s1 and
s2 and returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
according as
s1 is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than
s2 . The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that '\e200'
is greater than '\e0'.
