FUNCTION
<<strncasecmp>>---case-insensitive character string compare
INDEX
strncasecmp
SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.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 lowercase), <<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.
PORTABILITY
<<strncasecmp>> is in the Berkeley Software Distribution.
<<strncasecmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses
tolower() from elsewhere in this library.
