Description
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)).
History
glibc 2.1.
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Name
wcscasecmp - compare two wide-character strings, ignoring case
Notes
The behavior of wcscasecmp() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
Return Value
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.
