strncasecmp

Synopsis

int strncasecmp(string one, string two, int length)

Compares two strings; returns a number less than 0 if one is less than two, 0 if the two strings are equal, and a number greater than 0 if one is greater than two. The comparison is case-insensitive—that is, “Alphabet” and “alphabet” are considered equal. This function is a case-insensitive version of strcmp(). If either string is shorter than length characters, the length of that string determines how many characters are compared.
