strncasecmp(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to strncasecmp(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨. This is the case insensitive, length-limited string comparison. That's the whole name vibe: it compares strings but doesn't care about case and it's limited by length. No cap? No — there is literally a len cap. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int strncasecmp (const char *s1 , const char *s2 , size_t len );

This is the exact signature, bestie — do not come for the spacing, it's iconic. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• s1 — One string. literally one of the two strings in this whole situation.
• s2 — The other string. the second one, the counterpart, the duo partner.
• len — the maximum number of characters to compare. it's giving boundary queen, and it keeps the comparison length-limited. 🎀
