  • NAME
      strcmp, strncmp - compare two strings
  • SYNOPSIS 
      
 #include <string.h>

 int strcmp(const char * s1 , const char * s2 );


          int strncmp(const char * s1 , const char * s2 , size_t  n );
  • DESCRIPTION
      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 (at most) n characters of s1 and s2.
  • RETURN VALUE
      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.
