| .TH curl_strequal 3 "30 April 2004" "libcurl 7.12" "libcurl Manual" |
| .SH NAME |
| curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B #include <curl/curl.h> |
| .sp |
| .BI "int curl_strequal(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ");" |
| .sp |
| .BI "int curl_strenqual(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ", size_t " len ");" |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The |
| .B curl_strequal() |
| function compares the two strings \fIstr1\fP and \fIstr2\fP, ignoring the case |
| of the characters. It returns a non-zero (TRUE) integer if the strings are |
| identical. |
| .sp |
| The \fBcurl_strnequal()\fP function is similar, except it only compares the |
| first \fIlen\fP characters of \fIstr1\fP. |
| .sp |
| 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 works on all platforms. |
| .SH AVAILABILITY |
| These functions will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near |
| future. They will instead be made "available" by source code access only, and |
| then as curlx_strequal() and curlx_strenqual(). |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they're not. |
