25 @deftypefun int strverscmp (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2})
26 The @code{strverscmp} function compares the string @var{s1} against
27 @var{s2}, considering them as holding indices/version numbers. Return
28 value follows the same conventions as found in the @code{strverscmp}
29 function. In fact, if @var{s1} and @var{s2} contain no digits,
30 @code{strverscmp} behaves like @code{strcmp}.
32 Basically, we compare strings normally (character by character), until
33 we find a digit in each string - then we enter a special comparison
34 mode, where each sequence of digits is taken as a whole. If we reach the
35 end of these two parts without noticing a difference, we return to the
36 standard comparison mode. There are two types of numeric parts:
37 "integral" and "fractional" (those begin with a '0'). The types
38 of the numeric parts affect the way we sort them:
40 @itemize @bullet
41 @item
42 integral/integral: we compare values as you would expect.
44 @item
45 fractional/integral: the fractional part is less than the integral one.
46 Again, no surprise.
48 @item
49 fractional/fractional: the things become a bit more complex.
50 If the common prefix contains only leading zeroes, the longest part is less
51 than the other one; else the comparison behaves normally.
52 @end itemize
54 @smallexample
55 strverscmp ("no digit", "no digit")
56 @result{} 0 // @r{same behavior as strcmp.}
57 strverscmp ("item#99", "item#100")
58 @result{} <0 // @r{same prefix, but 99 < 100.}
59 strverscmp ("alpha1", "alpha001")
60 @result{} >0 // @r{fractional part inferior to integral one.}
61 strverscmp ("part1_f012", "part1_f01")
62 @result{} >0 // @r{two fractional parts.}
63 strverscmp ("foo.009", "foo.0")
64 @result{} <0 // @r{idem, but with leading zeroes only.}
65 @end smallexample
67 This function is especially useful when dealing with filename sorting,
68 because filenames frequently hold indices/version numbers.
