✨ BSON_STRCASECMP 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the libbson corner of the universe — specifically the bson_strcasecmp page, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int
bson_strcasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2);

that's it. that's the whole signature. two strings go in, an int comes out. no cap ✨

🎀 PARAMETERS

  • s1 — a string. literally just a string. that's the whole vibe 💖
  • s2 — another string. yes bestie, you need two of them 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION

so bson_strcasecmp() is a portable version of strcasecmp(). like, it's the same energy but it works wherever libbson works, which is the whole point. portable icon behavior 👑

if you've ever been burned by strcasecmp() not existing on some random platform, this is your girl. she shows up, she does the comparison, she does not make it weird. 🌈

⭐ RETURNS

here's the tea, and it's a three-way split 🍓:

  • returns a negative integer if s1 sorts lexicographically before s2
  • returns a positive integer if it sorts after
  • returns 0 if they're equivalent

and the key detail: all of this happens after translating both strings to lower case. so it's case-insensitive comparison, exactly like the name promised. iykyk 💅

ngl, the negative/positive thing isn't telling you how much smaller or bigger — it's just the direction. don't go reading extra meaning into the magnitude, bestie 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie! short, sweet, and case-insensitive. this one's from libbson 2.5.6, dated Oct 09, 2026 — so go forth, compare those strings, and slay ✨🎀💖🔥
