37.Sh NAME
38.Nm strcasecmp ,
39.Nm strncasecmp
40.Nd compare strings, ignoring case
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Fd #include <string.h>
43.Ft int
44.Fn strcasecmp "const char *s1" "const char *s2"
45.Ft int
46.Fn strncasecmp "const char *s1" "const char *s2" "size_t len"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Fn strcasecmp
50and
51.Fn strncasecmp
52functions compare the null-terminated strings
53.Fa s1
54and
55.Fa s2
56and return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
57according to whether
58.Fa s1
59is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than
60.Fa s2
61after translation of each corresponding character to lower-case.
62The strings themselves are not modified.
63The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that
64.Sq Li \e200
65is greater than
66.Ql \e0 .
67.Pp
68.Fn strncasecmp
69compares at most
70.Fa len
71characters.
