WCSNCASECMP(3)                Linux Programmer's Manual                WCSNCASECMP(3)

NAME         top

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

SYNOPSIS         top

       #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:
               _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
           Before glibc 2.10:
               _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

       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         top

       The wcsncasecmp() function is provided in glibc since version 2.1.

CONFORMING TO         top

       POSIX.1-2008.  This function is not specified in POSIX.1-2001, and is not
       widely available on other systems.

NOTES         top

       The behavior of wcsncasecmp() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current
       locale.
