NAME

5.13 `strcasecmp'--case insensitive character string compare

 

SYNOPSIS


     #include <string.h>
     int strcasecmp(const char *A, const char *B);  

DESCRIPTION

`strcasecmp' compares the string at A to the string at B in a case-insensitive manner.

 

RETURNS

If `*A' sorts lexicographically after `*B' (after both are converted to upper case), `strcasecmp' returns a number greater than zero. If the two strings match, `strcasecmp' returns zero. If `*A' sorts lexicographically before `*B', `strcasecmp' returns a number less than zero.

 

PORTABILITY

`strcasecmp' is in the Berkeley Software Distribution.


   `strcasecmp' requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses tolower() from elsewhere in this library.

 

SEE ALSO

strcasecmp is part of the libc library. The full documentation for libc is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If info and libc are properly installed at your site, the command
info libc

will give you access to the complete manual.
