#include mut315.h"
int naturalstrcmp(s, t)
char *s, *t;

Parameters

s
Pointer to the first string to compare
t
Pointer to the second string to compare

Description

naturalstrcmp is an alphanumerical comparison function that ensures x12 > x2 for example. First, the alphabetical part of the string is compared, using strcmp(3) , then, if it has trailing numbers, they are compared using a numerical function.

Return Values

naturalstrcmp has the same return values than the standard library strcmp(3) function.

Example

#include mut315.h"
static int
connectorcmp(flc, slc)
locon_list **flc, **slc;
{
return naturalstrcmp((*slc)->NAME, (*flc)->NAME); }
