24 ## WARNING: Unlike the C function of the same name, this function 24 ## @strong{Note:} For compatibility with @sc{Matlab}, Octave's strcmp
25 ## returns 1 for equal and zero for not equal. Why? To be compatible 25 ## function returns 1 if the strings are equal, and 0 otherwise. This is
26 ## with Matlab, of course. 26 ## just the opposite of the corresponding C library function.
27 ## 27 ## @end deftypefn
28 ## Why doesn't this always return a scalar instead of vector with
29 ## elements corresponding to the rows of the string array? To be
30 ## compatible with Matlab, of course.
