Synopsis:
    #include <string.h>
    int strcmp( const char *s1, const char *s2 );
    int _fstrcmp( const char __far *s1,
                  const char __far *s2 );

Description:
    The strcmp and _fstrcmp functions compare the string pointed to by s1 to
    the string pointed to by s2.

    The _fstrcmp function is a data model independent form of the strcmp
    function that accepts far pointer arguments.  It is most useful in mixed
    memory model applications.

Returns:
    The strcmp and _fstrcmp functions return an integer less than, equal to,
    or greater than zero, indicating that the string pointed to by s1 is
    less than, equal to, or greater than the string pointed to by s2.

Example:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>

    void main()
      {
        printf( "%d\n", strcmp( "abcdef", "abcdef" ) );
        printf( "%d\n", strcmp( "abcdef", "abc" ) );
        printf( "%d\n", strcmp( "abc", "abcdef" ) );
        printf( "%d\n", strcmp( "abcdef", "mnopqr" ) );
        printf( "%d\n", strcmp( "mnopqr", "abcdef" ) );
      }

    produces the following:

    0
    1
    -1
    -1
    1

Classification:
    strcmp is ANSI, _fstrcmp is not ANSI
