<h3 class="section">5.42 <code>wcscasecmp</code>&mdash;case-insensitive wide character string compare</h3>
<p><a name="index-wcscasecmp-411"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;wchar.h&gt;
int wcscasecmp(const wchar_t *<var>a</var>, const wchar_t *<var>b</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>wcscasecmp</code> compares the wide character string at <var>a</var> to
the wide character string at <var>b</var> in a case-insensitive manner.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
<p>If <code>*</code><var>a</var> sorts lexicographically after <code>*</code><var>b</var> (after
both are converted to uppercase), <code>wcscasecmp</code> returns a
number greater than zero. If the two strings match,
<code>wcscasecmp</code> returns zero. If <code>*</code><var>a</var> sorts
lexicographically before <code>*</code><var>b</var>, <code>wcscasecmp</code> returns a
number less than zero.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
POSIX-1.2008
<p><code>wcscasecmp</code> requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses
tolower() from elsewhere in this library.
