Examples

The functions strcmp(), stricmp(), strncmp() and strnicmp() do string comparisons. They return 0 when the strings match, -1 when the source string is sorted before the comparison string, and 1 when the source string is sorted after the target string. stricmp() and strnicmp() do case insensitive comparisons. strncmp() and strnicmp() limit the comparison to the first N bytes. If a UTF-8 character uses more than one byte, such as "é", increase N accordingly. For example, "strncmp( name, \"Pelé\", 5 ) == 0". Lastly, strncmp() is the same as strncmp().
