+size_t " n );

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR wmemcmp ()
+function is the wide-character equivalent of the
+.BR memcmp (3)
+function.
+It compares the
+.I n
+wide-characters starting at
+.I s1
+and the
+.I n
+wide-characters starting at
+.IR s2 .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR wmemcmp ()
+function returns
+zero if the wide-character arrays of size
+.I n
+at
+.I s1
+and
+.I s2
+are equal.
+It returns an integer greater than
+zero if at the first differing position
+.I i
+.RI ( i " <"
+.IR n ),
+the
+corresponding wide-character
+.I s1[i]
+is greater than
+.IR s2[i] .
+It returns an integer less than zero if
+at the first differing position
+.I i
+.RI ( i
+<
+.IR n ),
+the corresponding
