StrnCmp -- localized string comparison. (V38)
result = StrnCmp(locale,string1,string2,length,type);
D0 A0 A1 A2 D0 D1
LONG StrnCmp(struct Locale *,STRPTR,STRPTR,LONG,ULONG);
Compares string1 to string2 according to the collation information
provided by the locale and returns an integer greater than,
equal to, or less than zero, accordingly as the string pointed to
by string1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the string
pointed to by string2.
The length parameter specifies how many characters to compare, or if
the length is specified as -1 then the strings are compared until
a NULL is encountered.
The type parameter dictates how the comparison is to be performed.
locale - the locale to use for this comparison
string1 - NULL-terminated string
string2 - NULL-terminated string
length - the maximum number of characters to be compared, or -1 to
compare all characters until a NULL is encountered
type - describes how the comparison is to be performed. The following
values can be passed:
SC_ASCII causes an ASCII-based case-insensitive comparison
to be performed. SC_ASCII is the fastest of the comparison
types, but it uses ASCII ordering and considers accented
characters different than their non-accented counterparts.
SC_COLLATE1 causes the characters to be compared using their
primary sorting order. This effectively produces a comparison
that ignores letter case and diacritical marks. That is,
letters such as "e" and "é" are treated as if they were both
"e".
SC_COLLATE2 causes the characters to be compared using both
their primary and secondary sorting order. SC_COLLATE2 is
slower than SC_COLLATE1. This is the type of comparison to
use when sorting data to be presented to the user. It operates
in two passes. First it performs a comparison equivalent to
SC_COLLATE1. If both strings compare the same, then a second
pass is made using the secondary sorting order, which gives
finer resolution to the comparison. For example, SC_COLLATE1
would return the following strings as identical:
"père" and "pere"
since SC_COLLATE1 ignores diacritical marks. SC_COLLATE2
would make a second pass over the string comparing
diacritical marks instead of actual characters.
result - relationship between string1 and string2
<0 means string1 < string2
=0 means string1 = string2
>0 means string1 > string2
