.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR wcscasecmp ()
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
.BR strcasecmp (3)
function.
It compares the wide-character string pointed to
by \fIs1\fP and the wide-character string pointed to by \fIs2\fP, ignoring
case differences
.RB ( towupper (3),
.BR towlower (3)).
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
The
.BR wcscasecmp ()
function returns zero if the wide-character strings at
\fIs1\fP and \fIs2\fP are equal except for case distinctions.
It returns a
positive integer if \fIs1\fP is greater than \fIs2\fP, ignoring case.
It
returns a negative integer if \fIs1\fP is smaller
than \fIs2\fP, ignoring case.
.SH VERSIONS
The
.BR wcscasecmp ()
function is provided in glibc since version 2.1.
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
POSIX.1-2008.
This function is not specified in POSIX.1-2001,
and is not widely available on other systems.
.SH NOTES
The behavior of
.BR wcscasecmp ()
depends on the
.B LC_CTYPE
category of the
current locale.
