.SH NAME
|
|
|
|
|
curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons
|
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
.BI "int curl_strequal(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ");"
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
.BI "int curl_strenqual(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ", size_t " len ");"
|
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B curl_strequal()
|
|
|
|
|
function compares the two strings \fIstr1\fP and \fIstr2\fP, ignoring the case
|
|
|
|
|
of the characters. It returns a non-zero (TRUE) integer if the strings are
|
|
|
|
|
identical.
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBcurl_strnequal()\fP function is similar, except it only compares the
|
|
|
|
|
first \fIlen\fP characters of \fIstr1\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
|
These functions are provided by libcurl to enable applications to compare
|
|
|
|
|
strings in a truly portable manner. There are no standard portable case
|
|
|
|
|
insensitive string comparison functions. These two works on all platforms.

|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
|
|
|
These functions will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near
|
|
|
|
|
future. They will instead be made "available" by source code access only, and
|
|
|
|
|
then as curlx_strequal() and curlx_strenqual().

.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
|
|
|
Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they're not.
