strcmp()                 String Function                 strcmp()




Compare two strings

#include <string.h>
iinntt ssttrrccmmpp(_s_t_r_i_n_g_1, _s_t_r_i_n_g_2) cchhaarr *_s_t_r_i_n_g_1, *_s_t_r_i_n_g_2;

strcmp  compares  string1  with  string2  lexicographically.   It
returns zero if the  strings are identical, returns a number less
than zero if  string1 occurs earlier alphabetically than string2,
and returns a number greater  than zero if it occurs later.  This
routine is compatible with the ordering routine needed by qsort.

For  examples  of  this  function,  see  the entries  for  string
functions and malloc.
