💖 mtext_casecmp — the m17n library's chill, case-blind comparison 💖

okay bestie, welcome to mtext_casecmp(3m17n), a page from The m17n Library manual. yes it's a real manual page, yes it's 3m17n, yes we're doing this together 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mtext_casecmp (MText * mt1, MText * mt2)

like. that's it. two M-Texts walk into a function and we find out which one is bigger. iconic behavior honestly 🌸

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the whole vibe of mtext_casecmp() is: compare two M-texts while ignoring cases. that's the job. that's the entire job.

she's basically mtext_cmp()'s cooler twin — literally the same energy, same comparison, except she does NOT care about case when she compares. capital A, lowercase a, doesn't matter, she's not looking 👑 ngl that's main character energy fr fr.

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

she gives you back exactly one of three little numbers, and each one is a whole mood:

  • 1 — mt1 is greater than mt2 💅
  • 0 — they're equal ✨ (the best outcome, obviously)
  • -1 — mt1 is less than mt2 🥲
so like: greater → 1, equal → 0, less → -1. that's the order. don't get it twisted bestie 💀
