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