strncmp 函数

function

strncmp

<cstring>

int strncmp ( const char * str1, const char * str2, size_t num );

Compare characters of two strings

Compares up to num characters of the C string str1 to those of the C string str2.
This function starts comparing the first character of each string. If they are equal to each other, it continues with the following pairs until the characters differ, until a terminating null-character is reached, or until num characters match in both strings, whichever happens first.

Parameters

str1

C string to be compared.

str2

C string to be compared.

num

Maximum number of characters to compare.

Return Value

Returns an integral value indicating the relationship between the strings:
A zero value indicates that the characters compared in both strings are all equal.
A value greater than zero indicates that the first character that does not match has a greater value in str1 than in str2; And a value less than zero indicates the opposite.

Example

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

/* strncmp example */ #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main () { char str[][5] = { "R2D2" , "C3PO" , "R2A6" }; int n; puts ("Looking for R2 astromech droids..."); for (n=0 ; n<3 ; n++) if (strncmp (str[n],"R2xx",2) == 0) { printf ("found %s\n",str[n]); } return 0; }

Output:

Looking for R2 astromech droids... found R2D2 found R2A6
