NAME¶
fstrcolli - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <fstrcmp.h>
#define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
#define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
#define FSTRCMP_ERROR
int fstrcolli(const char *string1, const char *string2);
DESCRIPTION¶
The
strcolli() 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
fstrcolli function returns an
int value between 0 and
FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A
value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more
than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL) would be
considered "similar" by most people.
A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a
malloc(3) or
mbstowcs(3) failure.
