fstrcasecmpi3
Fuzzy comparison of two strings ignoring case
Usage
#include <fstrcmp.h>
#define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
#define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
#define FSTRCMP_ERROR
int fstrcasecmpi(const char *string1, const char *string2);
Overview
The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2, ignoring case.
Return value
The fstrcasecmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.
A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.
