# NAME
curl_strnequal - compare two strings ignoring case
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
int curl_strnequal(const char *str1, const char *str2, size_t length);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
The curl_strnequal(3) 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.
This function compares no more than the first *length* bytes of *str1* and
*str2*.
This function uses plain ASCII based comparisons completely disregarding the
locale - contrary to how **strcasecmp** and other system case insensitive
string comparisons usually work.
This function is provided by libcurl to enable applications to compare strings
in a truly portable manner. There are no standard portable case insensitive
string comparison functions. This function works on all platforms.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
const char *name = "compare";
if(curl_strnequal(name, argv[1], 5))
printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\n");
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they are not.
