strcasecmp()

NAME

strcasecmp(), strncasecmp() - compare strings, ignoring case

SYNOPSIS

#include <strings.h>

int strcasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2) int strncasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t len)

DESCRIPTION

The strcasecmp(3) and strncasecmp(3) functions compare the null-terminated strings s1 and s2 and return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, if s1 is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than s2 (respectively), after translating each corresponding character to lower-case. The strings themselves are not modified. The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that \200 is greater than \0.

The strncasecmp(3) compares at most len characters.
