A copy of the license is included in the ``GNU Free @c Documentation License'' file as part of this distribution. The @code{c-strcase} module contains case-insensitive string comparison functions operating on single-byte character strings, like the functions in @code{<strings.h>}, that operate as if the locale encoding was ASCII. (The "C" locale on many systems has the locale encoding "ASCII".) The functions are: @smallexample extern int c_strcasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2); extern int c_strncasecmp (const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n); @end smallexample For case conversion here, only ASCII characters are considered to be upper case or lower case. Note: The functions @code{strcasecmp}, @code{strncasecmp} from @code{<strings.h>} support only unibyte locales; for multibyte locales, you need the functions @code{mbscasecmp}, @code{mbsncasecmp}, @code{mbspcasecmp}.
