NAME
|
|
strncmp - compare two strings up to a specified number of characters
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
strncmp(s1, s2, n)
|
|
|
|
TYPES
|
|
s1 string
|
|
s2 string
|
|
n nonnegative integer
|
|
|
|
return integer (1, 0 or -1)
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Let n1 = size(s1), n2 = size(s2) and m = min(n1, n2, n).
|
|
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 min(n1, n) is greater than, equal
|
|
to, or less than min(n2, n); in particular, if n1 and n2 are
|
|
both greater than equal to n, 0 is returned.
|
|
|

|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
strncmp("abc", "xyz", 0) == 0
|
|
strncmp("abc", "xyz", 1) == -1
|
|
strncmp("abc", "", 1) == 1
|
|
strncmp("a", "b", 2) == -1
|
|
strncmp("ab", "ac", 2) == -1
|
|
strncmp("\0ac", "\0b", 2) == -1
|
|
strncmp("ab", "abc", 2) == 0
|
|
strncmp("abc", "abd", 2) == 0
|
|
|

LINK LIBRARY

This function uses FLAG stringrel(STRING *s1, STRING *s2),
|
|
temporarily replacing the string sizes by min(n1,n) and min(n2,n).
