✨ PROLOG ✨

so like, real talk first: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. 🫶

heads up babes — the Linux implementation of this interface may differ (so go consult the corresponding Linux manual page if you wanna know what Linux is actually doing, bestie), or honestly the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. vibe check your platform, fr fr. 💀

🌸 NAME 🌸

strncasecmp, strncasecmp_l — case-insensitive string comparisons ✨

like, you compare strings and you literally do not care about upper vs lower case. the case is not the moment. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <strings.h>

int strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);
int strncasecmp_l(const char *s1, const char *s2,
    size_t n, locale_t locale);

look at those signatures, they ate. 🔥

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Refer to strcasecmp().

(no cap, that's the whole description. this page is giving "go read the other page" energy and honestly? respect. the full tea lives over at strcasecmp(), so run don't walk. 🏃‍♀️💨)
