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