## Header File

Defined in [<SDL3_net/SDL_net.h>](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_net/blob/main/include/SDL3_net/SDL_net.h)

## Syntax

```c
int NET_CompareAddresses(const NET_Address *a, const NET_Address *b);
```

## Function Parameters

|                                    |       |                            |
| ---------------------------------- | ----- | -------------------------- |
| const [NET_Address](NET_Address) * | **a** | first address to compare.  |
| const [NET_Address](NET_Address) * | **b** | second address to compare. |

## Return Value

(int) Returns a value less than zero if `a` is "less than" `b`, a value
greater than zero if "greater than", zero if equal.

## Remarks
