NAME

6       fstrcmp - fuzzy comparison of two strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <fstrcmp.h>
10       #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
11       #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
12       #define FSTRCMP_ERROR
13       double fstrcmp(const char *string1, const char *string2);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2.
17

RETURN VALUE

19       The  fstrcmp  function  returns  a floating point value between 0.0 and
20       FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL.  A value of 0.0 means the strings  are  utterly  un-
21       alike.   A  value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical.
22       A value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0  and  FSTR‐
23       CMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.
24
25       A  value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) fail‐
26       ure.

48       derived from GNU Diff 2.7.
