/* File : strcmp.c Author : Richard A. O'Keefe. Updated: 10 April 1984 Defines: strcmp() strcmp(s, t) returns > 0, = 0, or < 0 when s > t, s = t, or s < t according to the ordinary lexicographical order. To test for equality, the macro streql(s,t) is clearer than !strcmp(s,t). Note that if the string contains characters outside the range 0..127 the result is machine-dependent; PDP-11s and VAXen use signed bytes, some other machines use unsigned bytes. */ #include "strings.h" int strcmp(s, t) register char *s, *t; { while (*s == *t++) if (!*s++) return 0; return s[0]-t[-1]; }
