WCSCMP(3P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             WCSCMP(3P)

PROLOG

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       wcscmp — compare two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcscmp(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);

DESCRIPTION

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned
       with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This
       volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The wcscmp() function shall compare the wide-character string
       pointed to by ws1 to the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.

       The sign of a non-zero return value shall be determined by the
       sign of the difference between the values of the first pair of
       wide-character codes that differ in the objects being compared.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon completion, wcscmp() shall return an integer greater than,
       equal to, or less than 0, if the wide-character string pointed to
       by ws1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the wide-character
       string pointed to by ws2, respectively.
