string(3)              C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS              string(3)



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 char-
     acters.

     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.
