al_ustr_compare(3) — Allegro 5 API ✨

okay so this page is from the Library Functions Manual, and it's serving the Allegro 5 API / Allegro reference manual vibe. Bestie, we're comparing two ALLEGRO_USTR strings by code point values, and it's giving "tiny function, very important energy." 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_ustr_compare — Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_ustr_compare(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us1, const ALLEGRO_USTR *us2)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function compares us1 and us2 by code point values. No cap.

Returns zero if the strings are equal, a positive number if us1 comes after us2, else a negative number. That's the whole mood. ⭐

It does not take into account locale-specific sorting rules. For that, you will need to use another library. So don't come for this function for your fancy locale-aware sort, okay? It said what it said. 💀
