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
       characters 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.
