curl_strequal man page

## NAME

curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons

## SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

int curl_strequal(char * str1 , char * str2 );

int curl_strenqual(char * str1 , char * str2 , size_t len );

## DESCRIPTION

The curl_strequal() 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.

The curl_strnequal() function is similar, except it only compares the first len characters of str1.

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 work on all platforms.

## 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().

## RETURN VALUE

Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they're not.

## SEE ALSO

strcmp (3) strcasecmp (3)
