11 int curl_strequal(char *str1, char *str2);
12 int curl_strnequal(char *str1, char *str2, size_t length);
13
15 The curl_strequal() function compares the two strings str1 and str2,
16 ignoring the case of the characters. It returns a non-zero (TRUE) inte‐
17 ger if the strings are identical.
18
19 The curl_strnequal() function is similar, except it only compares the
20 first lenght characters of str1.
21
22 These functions are provided by libcurl to enable applications to com‐
23 pare strings in a truly portable manner. There are no standard portable
24 case insensitive string comparison functions. These two work on all
25 platforms.

28 if(curl_strequal(name, input))
29 printf("Name and input matches\n");
30 if(curl_strnequal(name, input, 5))
31 printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\n");
32
34 These functions will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near
35 future. They will instead be made "available" by source code access
36 only, and then as curlx_strequal() and curlx_strenqual().
37
39 Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they are not.
