NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       wcsncasecmp  -  compare two fixed-size wide-character strings, ignoring
       case

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcsncasecmp (const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The wcsncasecmp function is the wide-character equivalent of the  strn-
       casecmp	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,
       towlower).

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.

CONFORMING TO    [Toc]    [Back]

       This function is a GNU extension.

       current locale.
