NAME

ustrncmp - Compares up to n letters of two strings. Allegro game programming library.

#include <allegro.h>

int ustrncmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, int n);

This function compares up to `n' characters of `s1' and `s2'. Example:

   if (ustrncmp(prefix, long_string, ustrlen(prefix)) == 0) {
      /* long_string starts with prefix */
   }

Returns zero if the substrings are equal, a positive number if `s1' comes after `s2' in the ASCII collating sequence, else a negative number.
