fstrcoll

fstrcoll(3)						     Library Functions Manual						       fstrcoll(3)

NAME

       fstrcoll - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  strcoll() 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 fstrcoll 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) or mbstowcs(3) failure.
