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.1-2008
       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.
