curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons #include <curl/curl.h> "int curl_strequal(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ");" "int curl_strnequal(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ", size_t " len ");" The curl_strequal() function compares the two strings str1 and str2, ignoring the case of the characters. It returns a non-zero (TRUE) integer if the strings are identical. The curl_strnequal() function is similar, except it only compares the first len characters of str1. These functions are provided by libcurl to enable applications to compare strings in a truly portable manner. There are no standard portable case insensitive string comparison functions. These two work on all platforms.

if(curl_strequal(name, input))
 printf("Name and input matches\\n");
if(curl_strnequal(name, input, 5))
 printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\\n");

These functions will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near future. They will instead be made "available" by source code access only, and then as curlx_strequal() and curlx_strenqual(). Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they are not. strcmp "(3), " strcasecmp "(3)"
