NAME
       wcsncasecmp  - compare two fixed-size wide-character strings, ignoring
       case

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       int wcsncasecmp(const wchar_t *s1, const wchar_t *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The wcsncasecmp function is the wide-character equivalent of the strn-
       casecmp	function. It compares the wide-character string pointed to by
       s1 and the wide-character string pointed to by s2, but at most n	 wide
       characters  from	 each  string,	ignoring  case differences (towupper,
       towlower).

RETURN VALUE
       The wcsncasecmp function returns zero if the wide-character strings at
       s1  and	s2,  truncated to at most length n, are equal except for case
       distinctions. It returns a positive integer if truncated s1 is greater
       than  truncated	s2,  ignoring  case. It returns a negative integer if
       truncated s1 is smaller than truncated s2, ignoring case.

CONFORMING TO
       This function is a GNU extension.

SEE ALSO

NOTES
       The behaviour of wcsncasecmp depends on the LC_CTYPE category  of  the
       current locale.
