+.SH NAME
+strcasecmp, strncasecmp \- compare two strings ignoring case
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <strings.h>
+.P
+.BI "int strcasecmp(const char *" s1 ", const char *" s2 );
+.BI "int strncasecmp(const char " s1 [. n "], const char " s2 [. n "], \
+size_t " n );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR strcasecmp ()
+function performs a byte-by-byte comparison of the strings
+.I s1
+and
+.IR s2 ,
+ignoring the case of the characters.
+It returns an integer
+less than, equal to, or greater than zero if
+.I s1
+is found,
+respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than
+.IR s2 .
+.P
+The
+.BR strncasecmp ()
+function is similar, except that it compares
+no more than
+.I n
+bytes of
+.I s1
+and
+.IR s2 .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR strcasecmp ()
+and
+.BR strncasecmp ()
+functions return
+an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if
+.I s1
+is, after ignoring case, found to be
+less than, to match, or be greater than
+.IR s2 ,
+respectively.

+.SH STANDARDS
+POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+4.4BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
+.P
+The
+.BR strcasecmp ()
+and
+.BR strncasecmp ()
+functions first appeared in 4.4BSD, where they were declared in
+.IR <string.h> .
+Thus, for reasons of historical compatibility, the glibc
+.I <string.h>
+header file also declares these functions, if the
+.B _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+(or, in glibc 2.19 and earlier,
+.BR _BSD_SOURCE )
+feature test macro is defined.
+.P
+The POSIX.1-2008 standard says of these functions:
+.P
+.RS
+When the
+.B LC_CTYPE
+category of the locale being used is from the POSIX locale,
+these functions shall behave as if the strings had been converted
+to lowercase and then a byte comparison performed.
+Otherwise, the results are unspecified.
