NAME
wcsncmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings SYNOPSIS
#include
int wcsncmp(const wchart *s1, const wchart *s2, sizet n); DESCRIPTION The wcsncmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
strncmp(3) function. It compares the wide-character string pointed to
by s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2, but at most n wide characters from each string. In each string, the comparison extends only up to the first occurrence of a null wide character (L'\0'), if any. RETURN VALUE
The wcsncmp() function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1 and s2, truncated to at most length n, are equal. It returns an inte‐ ger 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]. ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). ┌──────────┬───────────────┬─────────┐ │Interface │ Attribute │ Value │ ├──────────┼───────────────┼─────────┤
