STRICMP(3)                 Library Functions                STRICMP(3)



NAME
     stricmp - compare two strings with case insensitivity

SYNOPSIS
     #include <edlib.h>

     int stricmp(str1,str2)
     char *str1,*str2;

DESCRIPTION
     Stricmp lexographically compares the two null terminated strings.
     It returns a number less than zero if the first differing
     character of str1 is less than that of str2, zero if the two
     strings are equal, and a number greater than zero if the
     first differing character in str1 is greater than the
     corresponding character of str2. Stricmp works like strcmp(3)
     except that all alphabetic characters are treated as lower case
     for the purposes of the comparison.
