strcmp - determines the lexical relationship between two strings
int strcmp( string one, string two );
This implementatin of strcmp() is identical to the one found in C libraries.
If string one lexically precedes string two, then strcmp() returns a number
less than 0. If the two strings have the same value, strcmp() returns 0.
If string two lexically precedes string one, then strcmp() returns a number
greater than 0. This efunction is particularly useful in the compare
functions needed by sort_array().
Note that relational operators (<, >, etc) can also be used to compare
strings.
