The SnmpUtilOctetsNCmp function compares two octet strings. The function compares the subidentifiers in the strings until it reaches the number of subidentifiers specified by the nChars parameter. SnmpUtilOctetsNCmp is an element of the SNMP Utility API.
SNMPAPI SnmpUtilOctetsNCmp(
AsnOctetString *pOctets1, // first octet string
AsnOctetString *pOctets2, // second octet string
UINT nChars // maximum length to compare
);
The function returns a value greater than zero if pOctets1 is greater than pOctets2, zero if pOctets1 equals pOctets2, and less than zero if pOctets1 is less than pOctets2.
The SnmpUtilOctetsCmp function calls the SnmpUtilOctetsNCmp function.
