The strings themselves are not modified. The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that '\200' is greater than '\0'. The strncasecmp() compares at most len characters. SEE ALSO bcmp(3), memcmp(3), strcmp(3), strcoll(3), strxfrm(3) HISTORY The strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() functions first appeared in 4.4BSD. NOTES If len is zero strncasecmp() returns always 0.
