-.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.
