# al\_ustr\_equal(3)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_ustr\_equal - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro.h>
  bool al_ustr_equal(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us1, const ALLEGRO_USTR *us2)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Return true iff the two strings are equal. This function is more efficient than [al\_ustr\_compare(3)](/al_ustr_compare/3.md) so is preferable if ordering is not important.
