SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
int wcsncmp(const wchar_t *S1, const wchar_t *S2, size_t N);
DESCRIPTION
The `wcsncmp' function compares not more than N wide-character codes
(wide-character codes that follow a null wide-character code are not
compared) from the array pointed to by S1 to the array pointed to by
S2.
The sign of a non-zero return value is determined by the sign of the
difference between the values of the first pair of wide-character codes
that differ in the objects being compared.
RETURNS
Upon successful completion, `wcsncmp' returns an integer greater than,
equal to or less than 0, if the possibly null-terminated array pointed
to by S1 is greater than, equal to or less than the possibly null-ter‐
minated array pointed to by S2 respectively.
