Performs operations on multibyte character strings.
Standard C Library (libc.a)
#include <mbstr.h>
char *mbscat(MbString1, MbString2) char *MbString1, *MbString2;
int mbscmp(MbString1, MbString2) char *MbString1, *MbString2;
char *mbscpy(MbString1, MbString2) char *MbString1, *MbString2;
The mbscat, mbscmp, and mbscpy subroutines operate on null-terminated multibyte character strings.
The mbscat subroutine appends multibyte characters from the MbString2 parameter to the end of the MbString1 parameter, appends a null character to the result, and returns MbString1.
The mbscmp subroutine compares multibyte characters based on their collation weights as specified in the LC_COLLATE category. The mbscmp subroutine compares the MbString1 parameter to the MbString2 parameter, and returns an integer greater than 0 if MbString1 is greater than MbString2. It returns 0 if the strings are equivalent and returns an integer less than 0 if MbString1 is less than MbString2.
The mbscpy subroutine copies multibyte characters from the MbString2 parameter to the MbString1 parameter and returns MbString1. The copy operation terminates with the copying of a null character.
The mbsncat, mbsncmp, mbsncpy (mbsncat, mbsncmp, or mbsncpy Subroutine) subroutine, wcscat, wcscmp, wcscpy subroutine.
