+# NAME
+
+curl_strequal, curl_strnequal - case insensitive string comparisons
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+~~~c
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+int curl_strequal(const char *str1, const char *str2);
+int curl_strnequal(const char *str1, const char *str2, size_t length);
+~~~
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+The curl_strequal(3) function compares the two strings *str1* and
+*str2*, ignoring the case of the characters. It returns a non-zero (TRUE)
+integer if the strings are identical.
+
+The **curl_strnequal()** function is similar, except it only compares the
+first *length* characters of *str1*.
+
+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 work on all platforms.
+
+# EXAMPLE
+
+~~~c
+int main(int argc, char **argv)
+{
+ const char *name = "compare";
+ if(curl_strequal(name, argv[1]))
+ printf("Name and input matches\n");
+ if(curl_strnequal(name, argv[1], 5))
+ printf("Name and input matches in the 5 first bytes\n");
+}
+~~~
+
+# AVAILABILITY
+
+Always
+
+# RETURN VALUE
+
+Non-zero if the strings are identical. Zero if they are not.
