Name
strcmp() - determines the lexical relationship between two strings.
Synopsis
int strcmp( string one, string two );
Description
This implementation of strcmp() is identical to the one found in C libraries. If string `one' lexically precedes string `two', then strcmp() returns a number less than 0. If the two strings have the same value, strcmp() returns 0. If string `two' lexically precedes string `one', then strcmp() returns a number greater than 0. This efun is particularly useful in the compare functions needed by sort_array().
Note that relational operators ('<', '>', etc.) can also be used to compare strings.
