NAME

       curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       int curl_strequal(const char *str1, const char *str2);
       int curl_strnequal(const char *str1, const char *str2, size_t length);

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 length 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.

EXAMPLE

       int main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
         const char *name = "compare";
         if(curl_strequal(name, argv[1]))
           printf("Name and input matches\n");
         if(curl_strnequal(name, argv[1], 5))
           printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\n");
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Always

RETURN VALUE

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