WCSCASECMP (3)

compare two wide-character strings, ignoring case

SYNOPSIS

    #include <wchar.h>
      int wcscasecmp (const wchar_t * s1 , const wchar_t * s2 );  
    

DESCRIPTION

    The wcscasecmp function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcasecmp function. It compares the wide-character string pointed to by s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2, ignoring case differences (towupper, towlower).

RETURN VALUE

    The wcscasecmp function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1 and s2 are equal except for case distinctions. It returns a positive integer if s1 is greater than s2, ignoring case. It returns a negative integer if s1 is smaller than s2, ignoring case.

CONFORMING TO

    This function is a GNU extension.

NOTES

    The behaviour of wcscasecmp depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
