/***
*int wcsncmp(first, last, count) - compare first count chars of wchar_t strings
*
*Purpose:
*	Compares two strings for lexical order.  The comparison stops
*	after: (1) a difference between the strings is found, (2) the end
*	of the strings is reached, or (3) count characters have been
*	compared (wide-character strings).
*
*Entry:
*	wchar_t *first, *last - strings to compare
*	size_t count - maximum number of characters to compare
*
*Exit:
*	returns <0 if first < last
*	returns  0 if first == last
*	returns >0 if first > last
*
*Exceptions:
