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.
History
POSIX.1-2001, C99.
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Name
wmemcmp - compare two arrays of wide-characters
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].
