str_diffn(3)          DragonFly Library Functions Manual          str_diffn(3)

NAME
       str_diffn - compare two ASCIIZ strings

SYNTAX
       #include <str.h>

       int str_diffn(const char* a,const char* b,size_t limit);

DESCRIPTION
       str_diffn returns negative, 0, or positive, depending on whether the
       string a[0], a[1], ..., a[n]=='\0' is lexicographically smaller than,
       equal to, or greater than the string b[0], b[1], ..., b[m-1]=='\0'.

       If the strings are different, str_diffn does not read bytes past the
       first difference.  The strings will be considered equal if the first
       limit characters match.
