mtext_cmp(3m17n)

✨ mtext_cmp ✨ (from the m17n library, bestie 💖)

okay so we're doing mtext_cmp(3m17n) today and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, huge responsibility" 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtext_cmp — that's it, that's the name 💅 (the og page really does just leave it hanging like that, no cap)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mtext_cmp (MText * mt1, MText * mt2)

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So basically, mtext_cmp() compares two M-texts character by character. That's the whole vibe — you hand it mt1 and mt2, it walks through them letter by letter, and it tells you who wins. 🏆

M-text</p紫色>... wait, M-text vs M-text, one on one, character by character. literally the showdown of the century and it takes like zero drama to set up.

---

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

This function returns 1, 0, or -1, and here's the tea ☕:

• 1 — if mt1 is found greater than mt2 🔥
• 0 — if they're equal 🫶 (bestie behaviour)
• -1 — if mt1 is found less than mt2 😭

And the comparison is based on character codes. not vibes, not aesthetics, not how pretty the glyph looks — character codes, periodt. 💀
