     The ssttrrccmmpp() and ssttrrnnccmmpp() functions lexicographically compare the null-
     terminated strings _s_1 and _s_2.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
     The ssttrrccmmpp() and ssttrrnnccmmpp() return an integer greater than, equal to, or
     less than 0, according as the string _s_1 is greater than, equal to, or
     less than the string _s_2. The comparison is done using unsigned charac-
     ters, so that `\200' is greater than `\0'.

     The ssttrrnnccmmpp() compares not more than _l_e_n characters.
