| Syntax |
#include <cstring>
int strncmp( const char *str1, const char *str2, size_t count );
|
The strncmp() function compares at most count characters of str1 and str2. The return value is as follows:
| Return value | Explanation |
|---|---|
| less than 0 | str1 is less than str2 |
| equal to 0 | str1 is equal to str2 |
| greater than 0 | str1 is greater than str2 |
If there are less than count characters in either string, then the comparison will stop after the first null termination is encountered.
