fstrcasecmp(3)		    Library Functions Manual		  fstrcasecmp(3)

NAME
     fstrcasecmp - fuzzy comparison of two strings ignoring case

SYNOPSIS
     #include <fstrcmp.h>
     #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
     #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
     #define FSTRCMP_ERROR
     double fstrcasecmp(const char *string1, const char *string2);

DESCRIPTION
     The  fstrcmp()  function compares the two strings, string1 and string2, ig-
     noring case.

RETURN VALUE
     The fstrcasecmp function returns a floating point	value  between	0.0  and
     FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL.   A value of 0.0 means the strings are utterly un-alike.
     A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical.  A  value  of
     more  than  FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD  (it  lies between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL)
     would be considered "similar" by most people.

     A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.
