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.
