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.
