NAME¶
fstrcmp - fuzzy comparison of two stringsSYNOPSIS¶
#include <fstrcmp.h> #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICALDESCRIPTION¶
The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2.RETURN VALUE¶
The fstrcmp 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) failure.SEE ALSO¶
