     SSttrrccmmpp and ssttrrnnccmmpp compare null-terminated strings _s_1 and _s_2
     and return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than
     0, according as _s_1 is lexicographically greater than, equal
     to, or less than _s_2.  The comparison is done using unsigned
     characters, so that '\200' is greater than '\0'.

     _S_t_r_n_c_m_p compares at most _l_e_n characters.
