syntax:

Clib.strncmp(str1, str2, maxLen)

where:

str1 - first string to compare.

str2 - second string to compare

maxLen - maximum number of characters to use for comparison.

return:

number - negative, zero, or positive according to the following rules:

•

< 0 if str1 is less than str2

•

= 0 if str1 is the same as str2

•

> 0 if str1 is greater than str2

description:

This method compares up to maxLen bytes of str1 against str2 until there is a mismatch or the terminating null byte is reached. The comparison is case-sensitive. The comparison ends when maxLen bytes have been compared or when a terminating null byte has been compared, whichever comes first.
