wcsncasecmp(3) - Linux man page

Name

wcsncasecmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings, ignoring case

Synopsis

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

Description

The wcsncasecmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strncasecmp() function. It compares the wide-character string pointed to by s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2, but at most n wide characters from each string, ignoring case differences (towupper(), towlower()).

Return Value

The wcsncasecmp() function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1 and s2, truncated to at most length n, are equal except for case distinctions. It returns a positive integer if truncated s1 is greater than truncated s2, ignoring case. It returns a negative integer if truncated s1 is smaller than truncated s2, ignoring case.

Conforming to

This function is a GNU extension.

Notes

The behaviour of wcsncasecmp() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
