17 ## usage: strcmpi (s1, s2)
18 ##
19 ## Compare two strings, ignoring case, returning 1 if
20 ## they are the same, and 0 otherwise.
21 ##
22 ## Note: For compatibility with Matlab, Octave's strcmpi function
23 ## returns 1 if the strings are equal, and 0 otherwise. This is
24 ## just the opposite of the corresponding C library function.
