The strncmp() function compares at most count characters of 
str1 and str2. The return value is as follows:
 
Return value
Explanation
less than 0
''str1'' is less than ''str2''
equal to 0
''str1'' is equal to ''str2''
greater than 0
''str1'' is greater than str2''
 
If there are less than count characters in either string, 
then the comparison will stop after the first null termination 
is encountered.
