NAME

6       fstrcoll - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale
7

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

16       The  strcoll()  function  compares  the two strings sting1 and string2.
17       The comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate  for  the
18       program's current locale for category LC_CTYPE.
19

RETURN VALUE

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