NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <wchar.h>
11
12       int wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);

17           Since glibc 2.10:
18               _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L

DESCRIPTION

23       The wcsncasecmp() function is  the  wide-character  equivalent  of  the
24       strncasecmp(3) function.  It compares the wide-character string pointed
25       to by s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2, but at most  n
26       wide  characters  from  each  string, ignoring case differences (towup‐
27       per(3), towlower(3)).
28

RETURN VALUE

30       The wcsncasecmp() function returns zero if the  wide-character  strings
31       at  s1 and s2, truncated to at most length n, are equal except for case
32       distinctions.  It returns a positive integer if truncated s1 is greater
33       than  truncated  s2,  ignoring  case.  It returns a negative integer if
34       truncated s1 is smaller than truncated s2, ignoring case.
35

VERSIONS

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

CONFORMING TO

49       POSIX.1-2008.   This  function is not specified in POSIX.1-2001, and is
50       not widely available on other systems.
51

NOTES

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