curl_strequal(3)         libcurl Manual          curl_strequal(3)

NAME

     curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string com-
     parisons

SYNOPSIS

     #include <curl/curl.h>

     int curl_strequal(char *str1, char *str2);

     int curl_strenqual(char *str1, char *str2, size_t len

DESCRIPTION

     The curl_strequal() 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 len characters of str1.

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

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().

RETURN VALUE

     Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they're not.
