FUNCTION
	<<strcasecmp>>---case-insensitive character string compare
	
INDEX
	strcasecmp

SYNOPSIS
	#include <strings.h>
	int strcasecmp(const char *<[a]>, const char *<[b]>);

DESCRIPTION
	<<strcasecmp>> compares the string at <[a]> to
	the string at <[b]> in a case-insensitive manner.

RETURNS 

	If <<*<[a]>>> sorts lexicographically after <<*<[b]>>> (after
	both are converted to lowercase), <<strcasecmp>> returns a
	number greater than zero.  If the two strings match,
	<<strcasecmp>> returns zero.  If <<*<[a]>>> sorts
	lexicographically before <<*<[b]>>>, <<strcasecmp>> returns a
	number less than zero.

PORTABILITY
<<strcasecmp>> is in the Berkeley Software Distribution.

<<strcasecmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses
tolower() from elsewhere in this library.
