fstrcmpi
fstrcmpi(3) Library Functions Manual fstrcmpi(3)
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.
