curl_strequal(3)           Library Functions Manual           curl_strequal(3)

NAME
       curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       int curl_strequal(const char *str1, const char *str2);
       int curl_strnequal(const char *str1, const char *str2, size_t length);

DESCRIPTION
       The curl_strequal(3) 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 length characters of str1.

       These functions are provided by libcurl to enable applications to
       compare strings in a truly portable manner. There are no standard
       portable case insensitive string comparison functions. These two work
       on all platforms.

PROTOCOLS
       All

EXAMPLE
       int main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
         const char *name = "compare";
         if(curl_strequal(name, argv[1]))
           printf("Name and input matches\n");
         if(curl_strnequal(name, argv[1], 5))
           printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\n");
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Always

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