18 FUNCTION
19 <<strcasecmp>>---case-insensitive character string compare
20
21 INDEX
22 strcasecmp
23
24 SYNOPSIS
25 #include <strings.h>
26 int strcasecmp(const char *<[a]>, const char *<[b]>);
27
28 DESCRIPTION
29 <<strcasecmp>> compares the string at <[a]> to
30 the string at <[b]> in a case-insensitive manner.
31
32 RETURNS
33
34 If <<*<[a]>>> sorts lexicographically after <<*<[b]>>> (after
35 both are converted to lowercase), <<strcasecmp>> returns a
36 number greater than zero. If the two strings match,
37 <<strcasecmp>> returns zero. If <<*<[a]>>> sorts
38 lexicographically before <<*<[b]>>>, <<strcasecmp>> returns a
39 number less than zero.
40
41 PORTABILITY
42 <<strcasecmp>> is in the Berkeley Software Distribution.
43
44 <<strcasecmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses
45 tolower() from elsewhere in this library.
