Contents|Index|Previous|Next strncasecmp [case insensitive character string compare] SYNOPSIS  #include <string.h>  int strncasecmp(const char *a, const char *b, size_t length); DESCRIPTION strncasecmp compares up to length characters from 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), strncasecmp returns a number greater than zero. If the two strings are equivalent, strncasecmp returns zero. If *a sorts lexicographically before *b, strncasecmp returns a number less than zero. COMPLIANCE strncasecmp is in the Berkeley Software Distribution. strncasecmp requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses tolower() from elsewhere in this library. <
