18DESCRIPTION
Andree Buschmann0b7dcd62010-02-22 21:24:09 +000019 <<strcmp>> compares the string at <[a]> to
20 the string at <[b]>.
Björn Stenbergb69338f2002-05-30 21:03:17 +000021
22RETURNS
Andree Buschmann0b7dcd62010-02-22 21:24:09 +000023 If <<*<[a]>>> sorts lexicographically after <<*<[b]>>>,
24 <<strcmp>> returns a number greater than zero. If the two
25 strings match, <<strcmp>> returns zero. If <<*<[a]>>>
26 sorts lexicographically before <<*<[b]>>>, <<strcmp>> returns a
27 number less than zero.
Björn Stenbergb69338f2002-05-30 21:03:17 +000028
29PORTABILITY
30<<strcmp>> is ANSI C.
31
32<<strcmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
