+FUNCTION
+ <<strcasecmp>>---case insensitive character string compare
+
+INDEX
+ strcasecmp
+
+ANSI_SYNOPSIS
+ #include <string.h>
+ int strcasecmp(const char *<[a]>, const char *<[b]>);
+
+TRAD_SYNOPSIS
+ #include <string.h>
+ int strcasecmp(<[a]>, <[b]>)
+ char *<[a]>;
+ char *<[b]>;
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ <<strcasecmp>> compares the string at <[a]> to
+ the string at <[b]> in a case-insensitive manner.
+
+RETURNS
+
+ If <<*<[a]>>> sorts lexicographically after <<*<[b]>>> (after
+ both are converted to upper case), <<strcasecmp>> returns a
+ number greater than zero. If the two strings match,
+ <<strcasecmp>> returns zero. If <<*<[a]>>> sorts
+ lexicographically before <<*<[b]>>>, <<strcasecmp>> returns a
+ number less than zero.
+
+PORTABILITY
+<<strcasecmp>> is in the Berkeley Software Distribution.
+
+<<strcasecmp>> requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses
+tolower() from elsewhere in this library.
