mtext_case_compare(3m17n)					 The m17n Library					 mtext_case_compare(3m17n)

NAME

       mtext_case_compare - Compare specified regions of two M-texts ignoring cases.

SYNOPSIS

       int mtext_case_compare (MText * mt1, int from1, int to1, MText * mt2, int from2, int to2)

DESCRIPTION

       Compare specified regions of two M-texts ignoring cases. The mtext_case_compare() function compares two M-texts mt1 and mt2,
       character-by-character, ignoring cases. The compared regions are between from1 and to1 in mt1 and from2 to to2 in MT2.  from1 and from2 are
       inclusive, to1 and to2 are exclusive.  from1 being equal to to1 (or from2 being equal to to2) means an M-text of length zero. An invalid
       region specification is regarded as both from1 and to1 (or from2 and to2) being 0.

RETURN VALUE

	   This function returns 1, 0, or -1 if mt1 is found greater than, equal to, or less than mt2, respectively. Comparison is based on
	   character codes.
