NAME

     strcasecmp, strncasecmp - compare two strings ignoring case


SYNOPSIS

     #include <string.h>

     int strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2));

     int strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n


DESCRIPTION

     The strcasecmp() function compares the two  strings  s1  and
     s2,  ignoring  the  case  of  the characters.  It returns an
     integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if  s1  is
     found,  respectively,  to  be  less  than,  to  match, or be
     greater than s2.

     The strncasecmp() function is similar, except it  only  com-
     pares the first n characters of s1.


RETURN VALUE

     The  strcasecmp()  and  strncasecmp()  functions  return  an
     integer  less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 (or
     the first n bytes thereof) is  found,  respectively,  to  be
     less than, to match, or be greater than s2.
