.TH curl_strequal 3 "20 April 2001" "libcurl 7.7.2" "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 RETURN VALUE
Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they're not.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR strcmp "(3), " strcasecmp "(3)"
