<font size=+1><i>INTEGER</i> <b>strcmp</b>(<i>STRING <b>str1</b>, STRING <b>str2</b></i>)</font>
<p>This function compares <VAR>str1</VAR> against <VAR>str2</VAR> and returns
zero if they are equal, greater than zero if <VAR>string1</VAR> is lexically
greater than <VAR>string2</VAR>, and less than zero if <VAR>string1</VAR> is
lexically less than <VAR>string2</VAR>. The comparison performed by
<CODE>strcmp()</CODE> is case-sensitive.
<p>Examples:
<blockquote>
<PRE>
strcmp("Foo", "bar")
=> -28
strcmp("cashmir", "cashmiR")
=> 32
strcmp("foo", "foo")
=> 0
</PRE>
