NAME¶
wcscasecmp - compare two wide-character strings, ignoring case
LIBRARY¶
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <wchar.h>
int wcscasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
wcscasecmp():

_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
Before glibc 2.10:
_GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION¶
The wcscasecmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strcasecmp(3) function. It compares the wide-character string pointed to by s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2, ignoring case differences (towupper(3), towlower(3)).
RETURN VALUE¶
The wcscasecmp() function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1 and s2 are equal except for case distinctions. It returns a positive integer if s1 is greater than s2, ignoring case. It returns a negative integer if s1 is smaller than s2, ignoring case.
