FUNCTION
|
|
<<strncasecmp>>---case-insensitive character string compare
|
|
|
|
INDEX
|
|
strncasecmp
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <strings.h>
|
|
int strncasecmp(const char *<[a]>, const char * <[b]>, size_t <[length]>);
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
<<strncasecmp>> compares up to <[length]> characters
|
|
from the string at <[a]> to the string at <[b]> in a
|
|
case-insensitive manner.
|
|
|
|
RETURNS
|
|
|
|
If <<*<[a]>>> sorts lexicographically after <<*<[b]>>> (after
|
|
both are converted to lowercase), <<strncasecmp>> returns a
|
|
number greater than zero. If the two strings are equivalent,
|
|
<<strncasecmp>> returns zero. If <<*<[a]>>> sorts
|
|
lexicographically before <<*<[b]>>>, <<strncasecmp>> returns a
|
|
number less than zero.
|
|
|
|
PORTABILITY
|
|
<<strncasecmp>> is in the Berkeley Software Distribution.
|
|
|
|
<<strncasecmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses
|
|
tolower() from elsewhere in this library.
