The
strcasecmp
()
and strncasecmp
() functions compare the
NUL-terminated strings s1 and s2
and return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, according to
whether s1 is lexicographically greater than, equal
to, or less than s2 after translation of each
corresponding character to lower-case. The strings themselves are not
modified. The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that
‘\200
’ is greater than
‘\0
’.
strncasecmp
()
compares at most len characters.
