NAME
wcsncasecmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings, ignoring case
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
int wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
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.
VERSIONS
The
wcsncasecmp()
function is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
