wmemcmp \- compare two arrays of wide-characters

.SH DESCRIPTION
-The \fBwmemcmp\fP function is the wide-character equivalent of the \fBmemcmp\fP
-function. It compares the \fIn\fP wide-characters starting at \fIs1\fP and the
-\fIn\fP wide-characters starting at \fIs2\fP.
-.SH "RETURN VALUE"
-The \fBwmemcmp\fP function returns zero if the wide-character arrays of size
-\fIn\fP at \fIs1\fP and \fIs2\fP are equal. It returns an integer greater than
-zero if at the first differing position \fIi\fP (\fIi\fP < \fIn\fP), the
-corresponding wide-character \fIs1[i]\fP is greater than \fIs2[i]\fP. It
-returns an integer less than zero if at the first differing position \fIi\fP
-(\fIi\fP < \fIn\fP), the corresponding wide-character \fIs1[i]\fP is less than
-\fIs2[i]\fP.
