curl_strequal(3)	   Library Functions Manual	      curl_strequal(3)

NAME
       curl_strequal - compare two strings ignoring case

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       int curl_strequal(const char *str1, const char *str2);

DESCRIPTION
       The  curl_strequal(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 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_strequal(name,	argv[1]))
	   printf("Name	and input matches\n");
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in	curl 7.1

RETURN VALUE
       Non-zero	if the strings are identical. Zero if they are not.
