WCSCASECMP(3)              Library Functions Manual              WCSCASECMP(3)

NAME
     wcscasecmp, wcsncasecmp - compare wide-character strings, ignoring case

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <wchar.h>

     int
     wcscasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);

     int
     wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
     The wcscasecmp() and wcsncasecmp() 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 wcsncasecmp() function compares at most len characters.

SEE ALSO
     wcscmp(3)

STANDARDS
     The wcscasecmp() and wcsncasecmp() functions conform to IEEE Std
     1003.1-2008 ("POSIX.1").

HISTORY
     The wcscasecmp() and wcsncasecmp() functions first appeared in
     NetBSD 4.0.

NOTES
     If len is 0, wcsncasecmp() always returns 0.
