This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface

Application Usage

       None.

Description

       The  wcscasecmp()  and  wcsncasecmp() functions are the wide-character equivalent of the strcasecmp() and
       strncasecmp() functions, respectively.

       The wcscasecmp() and wcscasecmp_l() functions shall compare, while  ignoring  differences  in  case,  the
       wide-character string pointed to by ws1 to the wide-character string pointed to by ws2.

       The  wcsncasecmp()  and  wcsncasecmp_l() functions shall compare, while ignoring differences in case, not
       more than n wide-characters from the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 to the wide-character string
       pointed to by ws2.

       The wcscasecmp() and wcsncasecmp() functions use the current locale to determine the  case  of  the  wide
       characters.

       The  wcscasecmp_l()  and  wcsncasecmp_l() functions use the locale represented by locale to determine the
       case of the wide characters.

       When the LC_CTYPE category of the locale being used is from  the  POSIX  locale,  these  functions  shall
       behave  as  if  the wide-character strings had been converted to lowercase and then a comparison of wide-
       character codes performed.  Otherwise, the results are unspecified.

       The information for wcscasecmp_l() and wcsncasecmp_l() about the case of the characters  comes  from  the
       locale represented by locale.

       The  behavior  is  undefined  if  the locale argument to wcscasecmp_l() or wcsncasecmp_l() is the special
       locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.

Name

       wcscasecmp, wcscasecmp_l, wcsncasecmp, wcsncasecmp_l — case-insensitive wide-character string comparison

Prolog

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

Rationale

       None.

Return Value

       Upon completion, the wcscasecmp() and wcscasecmp_l() functions shall  return  an  integer  greater  than,
       equal  to, or less than 0 if the wide-character string pointed to by ws1 is, ignoring case, greater than,
       equal to, or less than the wide-character string pointed to by ws2, respectively.

       Upon completion, the wcsncasecmp() and wcsncasecmp_l() functions shall return an  integer  greater  than,
       equal  to,  or  less  than  0 if the possibly null wide-character terminated string pointed to by ws1 is,
       ignoring case, greater than, equal to, or less than the possibly null  wide-character  terminated  string
       pointed to by ws2, respectively.

       No return values are reserved to indicate an error.
