🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_strcmp_count — literally counts how many characters at the start of two strings are the exact same 🫶 like a vibe check for string prefixes.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ecoli/string.h>

size_t ec_strcmp_count(
    const char   *s1,
    const char   *s2
);

it's giving two const char * besties walking in, and you get back a size_t — the count of matching characters from the beginning. periodt. 💅
