uniicmp

Compares, with case insensitivity, two Unicode strings for differences.

Library:LibC
Service:Characters and Strings

Syntax

  #include <unilib.h> 
   
  int uniicmp (
     const unicode_t   *s1,
     const unicode_t   *s2);

Parameters

s1

(IN) Points to the first string to be compared.

s2

(IN) Points to the second string to be compared.

Return Values

Returns one of the following int values:

< 0

if s1 is less than s2

0

if s1 is equal to s2

>0

if s1 is greater than s2

Remarks

The uniicmp function compares s1 to s2, starting with the first character in each string and continuing with subsequent characters until either the corresponding characters differ, or the end of the strings is reached. The comparison ignores any differences in case.

The uniicmp function is useful for comparing strings for equality. Do not call unicmp for sorting strings into collation order.

The uniicmp function corresponds to the stricmp function.
