wcscasecmp(3)              Library Functions Manual              wcscasecmp(3)

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

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcscasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);

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

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

DESCRIPTION
       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)).

RETURN VALUE
       The wcscasecmp() function returns zero if the wide-character strings at
       s1 and s2 are equal except for case distinctions.  It returns a
       positive integer if s1 is greater than s2, ignoring case.  It returns a
       negative integer if s1 is smaller than s2, ignoring case.

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