NAME¶
wcsncasecmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings, ignoring case
LIBRARY¶
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <wchar.h>
int wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t s1[.n], const wchar_t s2[.n], size_t n);
wcsncasecmp():
Since glibc 2.10:
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
Before glibc 2.10:
_GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION¶
The wcsncasecmp() function is the wide-character equivalent of the strncasecmp(3) function. It compares the wide-character string pointed to by s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2, but at most n wide characters from each string, ignoring case differences (towupper(3), towlower(3)).
RETURN VALUE¶
The wcsncasecmp() function returns zero if the wide-character strings at s1 and s2, truncated to at most length n, are equal except for case distinctions. It returns a positive integer if truncated s1 is greater than truncated s2, ignoring case. It returns a negative integer if truncated s1 is smaller than truncated s2, ignoring case.
ATTRIBUTES¶
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).

HISTORY¶

NOTES¶
