<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
||
|
|
<code>strcmp</code> compares the string at <var>a</var> to
|
||
|
|
the string at <var>b</var>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
|
||
|
|
If <code>*<var>a</var></code> sorts lexicographically after <code>*<var>b</var></code>,
|
||
|
|
<code>strcmp</code> returns a number greater than zero. If the two
|
||
|
|
strings match, <code>strcmp</code> returns zero. If <code>*<var>a</var></code>
|
||
|
|
sorts lexicographically before <code>*<var>b</var></code>, <code>strcmp</code> returns a
|
||
|
|
number less than zero.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
|
||
|
|
<code>strcmp</code> is ANSI C.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><code>strcmp</code> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
|
||
|
