STRCASECMP(3) BSD Library Functions Manual STRCASECMP(3)NAMEstrcasecmp, strcasecmp_l, strncasecmp, strncasecmp_l -- compare strings, ignoring caseLIBRARYStandard C Library (libc, -lc)SYNOPSIS#include <strings.h> int strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2); int strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n); #include <strings.h> #include <xlocale.h> int strcasecmp_l(const char *s1, const char *s2, locale_t loc); int strncasecmp_l(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n, locale_t loc);DESCRIPTIONThe strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() functions compare the null-terminated strings s1 and s2. The strncasecmp() compares at most n characters. Although the strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() functions use the current locale, the strcasecmp_l() and strncasecmp_l() functions may be passed locales directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.RETURN VALUESThe strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, according as s1 is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than s2 after translation of each corresponding character to lower-case. The strings themselves are not modified. The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that '200' is greater than ' '.SEE ALSObcmp(3), memcmp(3), strcmp(3), strcoll(3), strxfrm(3), tolower(3), xlocale(3)HISTORYThe strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() functions first appeared in 4.4BSD. Their prototypes existed previously in <string.h> before they were moved to <strings.h> for IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') compliance.BSDJune 9, 1993 BSD
