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 Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they're not. .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR strcmp "(3), " strcasecmp "(3)"
