wmemcmp(3)                 Library Functions Manual                 wmemcmp(3)

NAME
       wmemcmp - compare two arrays of wide-characters

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wmemcmp(const wchar_t s1[.n], const wchar_t s2[.n], size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The wmemcmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
       memcmp(3) function.  It compares the n wide-characters starting at s1
       and the n wide-characters starting at s2.

RETURN VALUE
       The wmemcmp() function returns zero if the wide-character arrays of
       size n at s1 and s2 are equal.  It returns an integer 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].
