NAME

       wmemcmp - compare wide-characters in memory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       int wmemcmp(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wmemcmp()  function  compares the first n wide-characters of the object pointed to by ws1 to the first n wide-characters of the object
       pointed to by ws2. This function is not affected by locale and all wchar_t values are treated identically.  The	null   wide-character  and
       wchar_t values not corresponding to valid  characters are not treated specially.

       If n is zero,  ws1 and ws2 must be a valid pointers and the function behaves as if the two objects compare equal.

RETURN VALUES

       The  wmemcmp()  function  returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, accordingly as the object pointed to by ws1 is greater
       than, equal to, or less than the object pointed to by ws2.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
