NAME
       strcasecmp, strncasecmp - compare two strings ignoring case

SYNOPSIS
       #include <strings.h>

       int strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);

       int strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The strcasecmp() function compares the two strings s1 and s2, ignoring
       the case of the characters.  It returns an integer  less	 than,	equal
       to,  or	greater	 than  zero  if s1 is found, respectively, to be less
       than, to match, or be greater than s2.

       The strncasecmp() function is similar, except  it  only	compares  the
       first n characters of s1.

RETURN VALUE
       The  strcasecmp()  and  strncasecmp() functions return an integer less
       than, equal to, or greater than zero if	s1  (or	 the  first  n	bytes
       thereof)	 is  found,  respectively,  to	be less than, to match, or be
       greater than s2.
