wcscmp — compare two wide-character strings

#include <wchar.h>

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

The wcscmp() function compares 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 is 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.

Upon completion, wcscmp() returns 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.
