Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say, hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-) Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18. RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are switching to git. Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there have been 15473 file mods!

NAME
|
|
strcmp - compare two strings in the customary ordering of strings
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
strcmp(s1, s2)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
s1 string
|
|
s2 string
|
|
|
|
return integer (1, 0 or -1)
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Let n1 = size(s1), n2 = size(s2) and m = min(n1, n2).
|
|
This function compares up to m values of consecutive characters
|
|
in the strings s1 and s2. If an inequality is encountered, the
|
|
function returns 1 or -1 according as the greater character is
|
|
in s1 or s2. If there has been no inequality, the function
|
|
returns 1, 0, or -1 according as n1 is greater than, equal to,
|
|
or less than n2.
|
|
Note that null characters within the strings are included in the
|
|
comparison.
|
