NAME

       curl_strequal - compare two strings ignoring case

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       int curl_strequal(const char *str1, const char *str2);

DESCRIPTION

       The  curl_strequal(3)  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.

       This function uses plain ASCII based comparisons completely disregarding the locale  -  contrary  to  how
       strcasecmp and other system case insensitive string comparisons usually work.

       This  function  is  provided  by  libcurl  to  enable applications to compare strings in a truly portable
       manner. There are no standard portable case insensitive string comparison functions. This function  works
       on all platforms.

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects all supported protocols

EXAMPLE

       int main(int argc, char **argv)
       {
         const char *name = "compare";
         if(curl_strequal(name, argv[1]))
           printf("Name and input matches\n");
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.1

RETURN VALUE

       Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they are not.
