NAME

       fstrcoll - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fstrcmp.h>
       #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
       #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
       #define FSTRCMP_ERROR
       double fstrcoll(const char *string1, const char *string2);

DESCRIPTION

       The  strcoll()  function  compares  the two strings sting1 and string2.  The comparison is
       based on strings interpreted as appropriate for the program's current locale for  category
       LC_CTYPE.

RETURN VALUE

       The fstrcoll function returns a floating point value between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL.  A
       value of 0.0 means the strings are utterly un-alike.  A value of  FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL  means
       the  strings  are  identical.  A value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0
       and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.

       A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) or mbstowcs(3) failure.
