NAME

       curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       int curl_strequal(char *str1, char *str2);
       int curl_strnequal(char *str1, char *str2, size_t length);

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 lenght 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.

EXAMPLE

       if(curl_strequal(name, input))
         printf("Name and input matches\n");
       if(curl_strnequal(name, input, 5))
         printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\n");

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 are not.
