NAME
       wcscmp - compare two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcscmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);

DESCRIPTION
       The wcscmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcmp(3) function.  It com-
       pares the wide-character string pointed to by s1 and the wide-character string pointed  to
       by s2.

RETURN VALUE
       The  wcscmp()  function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1 and s2 are equal.
       It returns an integer greater than zero if at the first differing position i,  the  corre-
       sponding wide-character s1[i] is greater than s2[i].  It returns an integer less than zero
       if at the first differing position i, the corresponding wide-character s1[i] is less  than
       s2[i].

CONFORMING TO
       C99.
