*
* Results:
* The return value is 0 if the strings are identical in their
* first s1 characters. If they differ in their first s1
* characters, then the return value is 1 if the first string is
* greater than the second, and -1 if the second string is less
* than the first. If one string is a prefix of the other then
* it is considered to be less (the terminating zero byte participates
* in the comparison).
*
* Side effects:
* None.
