NAME

6       fstrcmpi - fuzzy comparison of two strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <fstrcmp.h>
10       #define FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL
11       #define FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD
12       #define FSTRCMPI_ERROR
13       int fstrcmpi(const char *string1, const char *string2);
14

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

19       The fstrcmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDEN‐
20       TICAL.  A value of 0 means the strings are utterly un-alike.   A  value
21       of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical.  A value of more
22       than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it  lies  between  0  and  FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL)
23       would be considered "similar" by most people.
24
25       A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) fail‐
26       ure.
