NAME

       fstrcolli - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  strcolli()  function  compares the two strings sting1 and string2.
       The comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate  for  the
       program’s current locale for category LC_CTYPE.

RETURN VALUE

       The   fstrcolli   function   returns   an   int  value  between  0  and
       FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL.  A value of 0 means the  strings  are  utterly  un-
       alike.   A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical.
       A value  of  more  than  FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD  (it  lies  between  0  and
       FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.

       A  value  of  FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) or
       mbstowcs(3) failure.
