cdev name comparison is wrong?

[jshen28]

Hello,

I have a question about the following code,

sysfsutils/lib/sysfs_class.c

Lines 68 to 70 in 7655f5a

	if (strncmp((char *)a, ((struct sysfs_class_device *)b)->name,
	strlen((char *)a)) == 0)
	return 1;

In the code, it will compare input with target using the length of input, but if input is something like host1 and there is already a node with name host12, it will mistakenly returns host12.

So my question is why not using strcmp? Thank you.

Best,
