strncmp
Description
int strncmp ( string str1, string str2, int len )
This function is similar to strcmp(), with the
difference that you can specify the (upper limit of the) number
of characters (len
) from each string to be
used in the comparison.
Returns < 0 if str1
is less than
str2
; > 0 if str1
is greater than str2
, and 0 if they are
equal.
Note that this comparison is case sensitive.
