- NAME
- strnicmp - compare two strings with case insensitivity up to
- a certain length
-
- SYNOPSIS
- #include <edlib.h>
-
- int strnicmp(str1,str2,len)
- char *str1,*str2;
- int len;
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Strnicmp lexographically compares the two null terminated
- strings up to the length 'len'. It returns a number less than
- zero if the first differing character of str1 is less than that
- of str2, zero if the two strings are equal, and a number greater
- than zero if the first differing character in str1 is greater
- than the corresponding character of str2. Strnicmp works like
- strncmp(3) except that all alphabetic characters are treated as
- lower case for the purposes of the comparison.
