strcmp function — Compares strings

Synopsis

int strcmp(const char* s1, const char* s2)

The strcmp function compares two null-terminated strings as arrays of unsigned char. If the strings are equal, the return value is 0. Otherwise, the return value is positive if s1 is greater than s2 or negative if s1 is less than s2. If one string is a prefix of the other, the longer string is greater than the shorter string.
