7.18 `wcsncmp'--compare part of two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS
     #include <wchar.h>
     int wcsncmp(const wchar_t *S1, const wchar_t *S2, size_t N);

DESCRIPTION
The `wcsncmp' function compares not more than N wide-character codes (wide-character codes that follow a null wide-character code are not compared) from the array pointed to by S1 to the array pointed to by S2.
   The sign of a non-zero return value is determined by the sign of the difference between the values of the first pair of wide-character codes that differ in the objects being compared.

RETURNS
Upon successful completion, `wcsncmp' returns an integer greater than, equal to or less than 0, if the possibly null-terminated array pointed to by S1 is greater than, equal to or less than the possibly null-terminated array pointed to by S2 respectively.

PORTABILITY
`wcsncmp' is ISO/IEC 9899/AMD1:1995 (ISO C).
   No supporting OS subroutines are required.
