.SH NAME
libsimple_strncasecmpnul \- compare two strings
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <libsimple.h>
inline int libsimple_strncasecmpnul(const char *\fIa\fP, const char *\fIb\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);
#ifndef strncasecmpnul
# define strncasecmpnul libsimple_strncasecmpnul

.IR \-lsimple .
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_strncasecmpnul ()
function compares the strings
.IR a ,
truncated to
.I n
bytes unless it is shorter,
and
.IR b ,
truncated to
.I n
bytes unless it is shorter,
both of which may be
.BR NULL ,
which is treated as less than the empty string.
.PP
If one of the strings begins with the other string
but is longer, the longer string is treated as
greater than the shorter string.
.PP
The comparison is case-insensitive and made as
if the strings were converted to lowercase and as
.BR "unsigned char *" s.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_strncasecmpnul ()
function returns a negative value if
.I a
is less than
.IR b ,
a positive value if
.I a
is greater than
.IR b ,
and 0 otherwise.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_strncasecmpnul ()
function cannot fail.
