Function Documentation

int string_compare	(	void *	string1,
		void *	string2
	)

Compare two strings.

Parameters:

	string1	The first string.
	string2	The second string.

Returns:

A negative value if the first string should be sorted before the second, a positive value if the first string should be sorted after the second, zero if the two strings are equal.

int string_equal	(	void *	string1,
		void *	string2
	)

Compare two strings to determine if they are equal.

Parameters:

	string1	The first string.
	string2	The second string.

Returns:

Non-zero if the strings are equal, zero if they are not equal.

int string_nocase_compare	(	void *	string1,
		void *	string2
	)

Compare two strings, ignoring the case of letters.

Parameters:

	string1	The first string.
	string2	The second string.

Returns:

A negative value if the first string should be sorted before the second, a positive value if the first string should be sorted after the second, zero if the two strings are equal.

int string_nocase_equal	(	void *	string1,
		void *	string2
	)

Compare two strings to determine if they are equal, ignoring the case of letters.

Parameters:

	string1	The first string.
	string2	The second string.

Returns:

Non-zero if the strings are equal, zero if they are not equal.
