NAME strncasecmp - compare two strings up to n characters, case independent SYNOPSIS strncasecmp(s1, s2, n) TYPES s1 string s2 string n nonnegative integer return integer (1, 0 or -1) DESCRIPTION Let n1 = size(s1), n2 = size(s2) and m = min(n1, n2, n). This function compares up to m values of consecutive characters in the strings s1 and s2. If an inequality is encountered, the function returns 1 or -1 according as the greater character is in s1 or s2. If there has been no inequality, the function returns 1, 0, or -1 according as min(n1, n) is greater than, equal to, or less than min(n2, n); in particular, if n1 and n2 are both greater than equal to n, 0 is returned. This function is case independent. EXAMPLE strncasecmp("abc", "xyz", 0) == 0 strncasecmp("abc", "xyz", 1) == -1 strncasecmp("abc", "", 1) == 1 strncasecmp("a", "b", 2) == -1 strncasecmp("ab", "Ac", 2) == -1 strncasecmp("\0ac", "\0b", 2) == -1 strncasecmp("ab", "aBc", 2) == 0 strncasecmp("abc", "abd", 2) == 0 LIMITS none LINK LIBRARY This function uses FLAG stringcaserel(STRING *s1, STRING *s2), temporarily replacing the string sizes by min(n1,n) and min(n2,n).
