ByteString.Compare Method (ByteString, ByteString)

Compares two byte strings

Parameters

str1

first byte string

str2

second byte string

Return Value

negative value if the first byte string precedes the second in lexical ordering;
positive value if the first byte string follows the second in lexical ordering;
zero otherwise

Remarks

null is a valid argument that always precedes a byte string in the lexical ordering (that is, it's "less than" a byte string).

If the two byte strings contain 8-bit text, then the comparison result is equivalent to a case-sensitive comparison result.
