48 wmemcmp \- compare wide-characters in memory
54 \fBint\fR \fBwmemcmp\fR(\fBconst wchar_t *\fR\fIws1\fR, \fBconst wchar_t *\fR\fIws2\fR, \fBsize_t\fR \fIn\fR);
60 The \fBwmemcmp()\fR function compares the first \fIn\fR wide-characters of the
61 object pointed to by \fIws1\fR to the first \fIn\fR wide-characters of the
62 object pointed to by \fIws2\fR. This function is not affected by locale and all
63 \fBwchar_t\fR values are treated identically. The null wide-character and
64 \fBwchar_t\fR values not corresponding to valid characters are not treated
68 If \fIn\fR is zero, \fIws1\fR and \fIws2\fR must be a valid pointers and the
69 function behaves as if the two objects compare equal.
73 The \fBwmemcmp()\fR function returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less
74 than 0, accordingly as the object pointed to by \fIws1\fR is greater than,
75 equal to, or less than the object pointed to by \fIws2\fR.
79 No errors are defined.
