NAME

       wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcscmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wcscmp()  function  is  the  wide-character equivalent of the strcmp(3) function.  It
       compares the wide-character string pointed to by s1 and the wide-character string  pointed
       to by s2.

RETURN VALUE

       The  wcscmp()  function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1 and s2 are equal.
       It returns an integer greater than  zero  if  at  the  first  differing  position  i,  the
       corresponding wide-character s1[i] is greater than s2[i].  It returns an integer less than
       zero if at the first differing position i, the corresponding wide-character s1[i] is  less
       than s2[i].
