str_diffn(3)		    Library Functions Manual		    str_diffn(3)

NAME
     str_diffn - compare two ASCIIZ strings

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/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  char-
     acters match.
