WCSNCMP(3)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                WCSNCMP(3)



NAME
       wcsncmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcsncmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  wcsncmp  function  is the wide-character equivalent of the strncmp
       function. It compares the wide-character string pointed to  by  s1  and
       the  wide-character string pointed to by s2, but at most n wide charac-
       ters from each string. In each string, the comparison extends  only  up
       to the first occurrence of a L'\0' character, if any.

RETURN VALUE
       The  wcsncmp  function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1
       and s2, truncated to at most length n, are equal.  It returns an  inte-
       ger greater than zero if at the first differing position i (i < n), 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 (i < n),
       the corresponding wide-character s1[i] is less than s2[i].
