wcsncasecmp - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings, ignoring case
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <wchar.h>
int wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t s1[.n], const wchar_t s2[.n], 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
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)).
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.
