string(3BSD)         (BSD System Compatibility)         string(3BSD)


       NAME
             string: strcasecmp, strncasecmp - (BSD) string operations

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/cc [flag . . . ] file . . .
             int strcasecmp(char *s1, char *s2);
             int strncasecmp(char *s1, char *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.

       NOTICES
             strcasecmp and strncasecmp use native character comparison as
             above and assume the ASCII character set.
