fstrcolli

fstrcolli(3)						     Library Functions Manual						      fstrcolli(3)

NAME

       fstrcolli - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fstrcmp.h>
       #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
       #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
       #define FSTRCMP_ERROR
       int fstrcolli(const char *string1, const char *string2);

DESCRIPTION

       The strcolli() function compares the two strings sting1 and string2.  The comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate for the
       program's current locale for category LC_CTYPE.

RETURN VALUE

       The fstrcolli 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_IDEN-
       TICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.

       A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) or mbstowcs(3) failure.
