curl_strnequal(3) Library Functions Manual curl_strnequal(3) NAME curl_strnequal - compare two strings ignoring case SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> int curl_strnequal(const char *str1, const char *str2, size_t length); DESCRIPTION The curl_strnequal(3) function compares the two strings str1 and str2, ignoring the case of the characters. It returns a non-zero (TRUE) inte- ger if the strings are identical. This function compares no more than the first length bytes of str1 and str2. This function uses plain ASCII based comparisons completely disregard- ing the locale - contrary to how strcasecmp and other system case in- sensitive string comparisons usually work. This function is provided by libcurl to enable applications to compare strings in a truly portable manner. There are no standard portable case insensitive string comparison functions. This function works on all platforms. PROTOCOLS This functionality affects all supported protocols EXAMPLE int main(int argc, char **argv) { const char *name = "compare"; if(curl_strnequal(name, argv[1], 5)) printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\n"); } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.1 RETURN VALUE Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they are not. SEE ALSO curl_strequal(3), strcasecmp(3), strcmp(3) libcurl 2025-06-03 curl_strnequal(3)
