fstrcolli(3)		    Library Functions Manual		    fstrcolli(3)

NAME
     fstrcolli - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale

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

DESCRIPTION
     The  strcolli()  function compares the two strings sting1 and string2.  The
     comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate for the program's
     current locale for category LC_CTYPE.

RETURN VALUE
     The fstrcolli function returns an int value between 0 and	FSTRCMPI_IDENTI-
     CAL.   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 con-
     sidered "similar" by most people.

     A	value  of  FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) or mb-
     stowcs(3) failure.
