Syntax
#include <string.h> int strcmpi(const char *string1, const char *string2);Description
strcmpi compares string1 and string2 without sensitivity to case. All alphabetic characters in the two arguments string1 and string2 are converted to lowercase before the comparison.
The function operates on null-ended strings. The string arguments to the function are expected to contain a null character (\0) marking the end of the string.
strcmpi returns a value indicating the relationship between the two strings, as follows: compact break=fit.
Value
This example uses strcmpi to compare two strings.
#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
/* Compare two strings without regard to case */
if (0 == strcmpi("hello", "HELLO"))
printf("The strings are equivalent.\n");
else
printf("The strings are not equivalent.\n");
return 0;
/****************************************************************************
The output should be:
The strings are equivalent.
