NAME

fstrcolli - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS

#include <fstrcmp.h>
#define FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL
#define FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD
#define FSTRCMP_ERROR
int fstrcolli(const char *string1, const char *string2);

DESCRIPTION

The strcolli () function compares the two strings sting1 and string2 . The comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate for the program’s current locale for category LC_CTYPE.

RETURN VALUE

The fstrcolli function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A value of more than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.

A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc (3) or mbstowcs (3) failure.
