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.
