curl_strequal(3)          libcurl Manual         curl_strequal(3)



NAME
       curl_strequal,  curl_strnequal  -  case insensitive string
       comparisons

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       int curl_strequal(char *str1, char *str2);

       int curl_strenqual(char *str1, char *str2, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
       The curl_strequal() function compares the two strings str1
       and  str2, ignoring the case of the characters. It returns
       a non-zero (TRUE) integer if the strings are identical.

       The curl_strnequal() function is similar, except  it  only
       compares the first len characters of str1.

       These functions are provided by libcurl to enable applica-
       tions to compare strings in a truly portable manner. There
       are  no standard portable case insensitive string compari-
       son functions. These two works on all platforms.

AVAILABILITY
       These functions will be removed from  the  public  libcurl
       API  in  a  near future. They will instead be made "avail-
       able" by source code access only, and then as  curlx_stre-
       qual() and curlx_strenqual().

RETURN VALUE
       Non-zero  if  the  strings  are identical. Zero if they're
       not.
