wcscasecmp - compare two wide-character strings, ignoring case
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <wchar.h>
int wcscasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
wcscasecmp():
Since glibc 2.10:
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
Before glibc 2.10:
_GNU_SOURCE
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)).
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.
