+.TH curl_strequal 3 "20 April 2001" "libcurl 7.7.2" "libcurl Manual"
+.SH NAME
+curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B #include <curl/curl.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int curl_strequal(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ");"
+.sp
+.BI "int curl_strenqual(char *" str1 ", char *" str2 ", size_t " len ");"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B curl_strequal()
+function compares the two strings \fIstr1\fP and \fIstr2\fP, ignoring the case
+of the characters. It returns a non-zero (TRUE) integer if the strings are
+identical.
+.sp
+The \fBcurl_strnequal()\fP function is similar, except it only compares the
+first \fIlen\fP characters of \fIstr1\fP.
+.sp
+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 works on all platforms.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+A pointer to a zero terminated string.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.BR strcmp "(3), " strcasecmp "(3)"
