wcscasecmp(3)            Library Functions Manual           wcscasecmp(3)

NAME         top

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

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcscasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
       int wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t s1[.n], const wchar_t s2[.n], size_t n);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       wcscasecmp(), wcsncasecmp():
           Since glibc 2.10:
               _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
           Before glibc 2.10:
               _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       The wcscasecmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
       strcasecmp(3) function.  It compares the wide-character string
       pointed to by s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2,
       ignoring case differences (towupper(3), towlower(3)).

       The wcsncasecmp() function is similar (the wide-character
       equivalent of strncasecmp(3)), except that it compares no more
       than n wide characters of s1 and s2.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The wcscasecmp() and wcsncasecmp() functions return an integer
       less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is, after ignoring
       case, found to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2,
       respectively.

STANDARDS         top

HISTORY         top

       glibc 2.1.

NOTES         top

       The behavior of wcscasecmp() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of
       the current locale.
