fmemcmpi(3) Library Functions Manual fmemcmpi(3)NAMEfmemcmpi - fuzzy comparison of two memory areasSYNOPSIS#include <fstrcmp.h> #define FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL #define FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD #define FSTRCMPI_ERROR int fmemcmpi(const void *data1, size_t size1, const void *data2, size_t size2);DESCRIPTIONThe fmemcmpi() function compares the two memory areas, the size1 bytes pointed to by data1 and the size2 bytes pointed to by data2.RETURN VALUEThe fmemcmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the memory areas are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the memory areas are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0 and FSTR- CMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people. A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.SEE ALSOfmemcmp(3) fuzzy comparison of two memory areas fstrcmpi(3) fuzzy comparison of two strings memcmp(3) compare memory areasCOPYRIGHTfstrcmp version 0.4 Copyright (C) 2009 Peter Miller Peter Miller <pmiller@opensource.org.au> The comparison code is derived from the fuzzy comparison functions in GNU Gettext 0.17.
