Syntax
#include <string.h> int stricmp(const char *string1, const char *string2);Description
stricmp compares string1 and string2 without sensitivity for case. All alphabetic characters in the arguments string1 and string2 are converted to lowercase before the comparison using locale information. stricmp operates on null-terminated strings.
