Also by this name: strncasecmp(3), Libraries: curses, OPEN LOOK and others · string(3C), C library
NAME
string: strcasecmp, strncasecmp - string operations
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file ... -lucb int strcasecmp(s1, s2) char *s1, *s2; int strncasecmp(s1, s2, n) char *s1, *s2; int n;
DESCRIPTION
The strcasecmp and strncasecmp routines compare the strings and ignore differences in case. These routines assume the ASCII character set when equating lower and upper case characters.
These functions operate on null-terminated strings. They do not check for overflow of any receiving string.
SEE ALSO
bstring(3) malloc(3C), string(3C) in the Programmer's Refer- ence Manual.
NOTES
strcasecmp and strncasecmp use native character comparison as above and assume the ASCII character set.
