C character string question...

Is there a quick way to compare a character string with a constant such as "hello" in c?

I'd really like to do this without having to write a function ( i know it wouldn't be hard but...)

strcmp

void foobles(constr char* str)
{
   if(strcmp(str,"hello whirled") == 0)
      puts("strings are the same");
}
