NAME
fstrcasecmp - fuzzy comparison of two strings ignoring case SYNOPSIS
#include <fstrcmp.h> #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD #define FSTRCMP_ERROR double fstrcasecmp(const char *string1, const char *string2); DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2, ignoring case. RETURN VALUE
The fstrcasecmp function returns a floating point value between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL. A value of 0.0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people. A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure. SEE ALSO

NAME
fstrcmpi - fuzzy comparison of two strings SYNOPSIS
#include <fstrcmp.h> #define FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL #define FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD #define FSTRCMPI_ERROR int fstrcmpi(const char *string1, const char *string2); DESCRIPTION
The fstrcmpi() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2. RETURN VALUE
The fstrcmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people. A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure. SEE ALSO
