.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_strncaseeqnul ()
function compares the strings

truncated to
.I n
bytes unless it is shorter,
both of which may be
.BR NULL .

.BR libsimple_strncaseeqnul ()
function returns 1 if the strings are equals,
with the possible exception of the case,
otherwise it returns 0.
