curl_strequal(3)                               libcurl Manual                               curl_strequal(3)



NAME
       curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons

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 charac-ters. characters.
       ters. 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 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.

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.
