wcsncmp(3C)                                              wcsncmp(3C)


       NAME
             wcsncmp - compare two wide character strings with bound

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <wchar.h>
             int wcsncmp(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2, size_t n);

       DESCRIPTION
             wcsncmp compares not more than n wide characters from the
             array pointed to by ws1 to the array pointed to by ws2.  The
             function does not compare wide characters that follow a null
             wide character.

          Return Values
             wcsncmp compares its arguments and returns an integer less
             than, equal to, or greater than zero, depending on whether the
             wide string ws1 is less than, equal to, or greater than the
             wide string ws2. The null wide character compares less than
             any other wide character.
