(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_strcmp

Compare two null-terminated UTF-8 strings.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h>

Syntax

int SDL_strcmp(const char *str1, const char *str2);

Function Parameters

str1	The first string to compare. NULL is not permitted!
str2	The second string to compare. NULL is not permitted!

Return Value

Returns less than zero if str1 is "less than" str2, greater than zero if str1 is "greater than" str2, and zero if the strings match exactly.

Remarks

Due to the nature of UTF-8 encoding, this will work with Unicode strings, since effectively this function just compares bytes until it hits a null-terminating character. Also due to the nature of UTF-8, this can be used with SDL_qsort() to put strings in (roughly) alphabetical order.

Thread Safety

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
