case_starts(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet case_starts — she compares prefixes of strings, and she does it case-insensitively. 💅

this one lives in the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and she's giving very chill, very "does exactly what it says on the tin" energy.

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

#include <libowfat/case.h>

int case_starts(const char* a,const char* b);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: case_starts returns 1 if b is a prefix of a, and 0 otherwise. that's it, that's the whole plot. 🎀

• 1 — b is a prefix of a
• 0 — literally any other situation

and when she says case-insensitively, she means it fr fr: for this comparison,

• 'A' == 'a'
• 'B' == 'b'
• ...
• 'Z' == 'z'

no cap. uppercase and lowercase are just besties here. periodt. 💖

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• str_start(3)

and that's the whole page, babe. this lil icon comes from the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and the footer is just case_starts(3) echoing her own name back at you like the main character she is. 🫶✨
