strcmp(3)              C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS              strcmp(3)

NAME
     strcmp() - determines the lexical relationship  between  two
     strings.

SYNOPSIS
     int strcmp(string one, string two);

DESCRIPTION
     This implementatin of strcmp() is identical to the one found
     in  C  libraries.   If  string one lexically precedes string
     two, then strcmp() returns a number less than 0.  If the two
     strings  have the same value, strcmp() returns 0.  If string
     two lexically precedes string one, then strcmp()  returns  a
     number  greater than 0.  This efunction is particularly use-
     ful in the compare functions needed by sort_array(3).
