NAME

       fstrcmp - fuzzy comparison of two strings

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fstrcmp.h>
       #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
       #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
       #define FSTRCMP_ERROR
       double fstrcmp(const char *string1, const char *string2);

DESCRIPTION

       The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2.

RETURN VALUE

       The  fstrcmp  function  returns a floating point value between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL.  A value of 0.0
       means the strings are utterly un-alike.  A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical.  A
       value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0  and  FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL)  would  be  considered
       "similar" by most people.

       A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.
