NAME
       strcmp - General: Compares two null-terminated character strings

SYNOPSIS
       int strcmp(
	       char *s1,
	       char *s2 );

ARGUMENTS
       Specifies a pointer to a string (an array of characters terminated by a
       null character).	 Specifies a pointer to a string (an array of  charac‐
       ters terminated by a null character).

DESCRIPTION
       The  strcmp  routine lexicographically compares string s1 to string s2.
       The routine does not continue the  comparison  beyond  the  first  null
       character  it  finds.  A	 fatal	error  occurs  if you call strcmp with
       strings that are not null terminated.

RETURN VALUES
       If string s1 is less than string s2, strcmp  returns  an	 integer  less
       than  zero.   If	 s1  and s2 are equal, the routine returns the value 0
       (zero). If s1 is greater than s2, it returns an	integer	 greater  than
       zero.
