NAME

       fstrcasecmp - fuzzy comparison of two strings ignoring case

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fstrcmp.h>
       #define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
       #define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
       #define FSTRCMP_ERROR
       double fstrcasecmp(const char *string1, const char *string2);

DESCRIPTION

       The  fstrcmp()  function compares the two strings, string1 and string2,
       ignoring case.

RETURN VALUE

       The fstrcasecmp function returns a floating point value between 0.0 and
       FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL.   A  value  of 0.0 means the strings are utterly un-
       alike.  A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings  are  identical.
       A  value  of  more  than  FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD  (it  lies  between 0.0 and
       FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.

       A value  of  FSTRCMP_ERROR  (always  negative)  indicates  a  malloc(3)
       failure.
