wcsncasecmp(3)          Library Functions Manual          wcsncasecmp(3)

NAME         top

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

LIBRARY         top

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t s1[.n], const wchar_t s2[.n], size_t n);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
   feature_test_macros(7)):

       wcsncasecmp():
           Since glibc 2.10:
               _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
           Before glibc 2.10:
               _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       The wcsncasecmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of
       the strncasecmp(3) 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(3), towlower(3)).

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.

HISTORY         top

       glibc 2.1.

NOTES         top

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