27 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
28 | .B Strcasecmp | |
29 | compares null-terminated strings | |
30 | .I s1 | |
31 | and | |
32 | .I s2 | |
33 | and returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, | |
34 | according as | |
35 | .I s1 | |
36 | is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than | |
37 | .IR s2 | |
38 | after translation of each corresponding character to lower-case. | |
39 | The strings themselves are not modified. | |
40 | The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that '\e200' | |
41 | is greater than '\e0'. | |
42 | .PP | |
43 | .B Strncasecmp | |
44 | compares at most | |
45 | .I len | |
46 | characters. | |
