NAME

       wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcscmp(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wcscmp()  function  shall  compare the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 to the
       wide-character string pointed to by ws2.

       The sign of a non-zero return value shall be determined by  the  sign  of  the  difference
       between  the  values  of the first pair of wide-character codes that differ in the objects
       being compared.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon completion, wcscmp() shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than  0,
       if the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the
       wide-character string pointed to by ws2, respectively.
