int wcsncmp( const wchar_t* lhs, const wchar_t* rhs, std::size_t count ); |
Compares at most count wide characters of two null-terminated wide strings. The comparison is done lexicographically.
The sign of the result is the sign of the difference between the values of the first pair of wide characters that differ in the strings being compared.
The behavior is undefined if lhs or rhs are not pointers to null-terminated strings.
| lhs, rhs | - | pointers to the null-terminated wide strings to compare |
| count | - | maximum number of characters to compare |
Negative value if lhs appears before rhs in lexicographical order.
Zero if lhs and rhs compare equal.
Positive value if lhs appears after rhs in lexicographical order.
