+.SH NAME
+strcasecmp, strncasecmp \- case-insensitive string comparisons
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <strings.h>
+.br
+.sp
+int strcasecmp(const char *\fP\fIs1\fP\fB, const char *\fP\fIs2\fP\fB);
+.br
+int strncasecmp(const char *\fP\fIs1\fP\fB, const char *\fP\fIs2\fP\fB,

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIstrcasecmp\fP() function shall compare, while ignoring differences
+in case, the string pointed to by \fIs1\fP to the
+string pointed to by \fIs2\fP. The \fIstrncasecmp\fP() function shall
+compare, while ignoring differences in case, not more than
+\fIn\fP bytes from the string pointed to by \fIs1\fP to the string
+pointed to by \fIs2\fP.
+.LP
+In the POSIX locale, \fIstrcasecmp\fP() and \fIstrncasecmp\fP() shall
+behave as if the strings had been converted to lowercase
+and then a byte comparison performed. The results are unspecified
+in other locales.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon completion, \fIstrcasecmp\fP() shall return an integer greater
+than, equal to, or less than 0, if the string pointed to by
+\fIs1\fP is, ignoring case, greater than, equal to, or less than the
+string pointed to by \fIs2\fP, respectively.
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIstrncasecmp\fP() shall return an integer
+greater than, equal to, or less than 0, if the possibly
+null-terminated array pointed to by \fIs1\fP is, ignoring case, greater
+than, equal to, or less than the possibly null-terminated
+array pointed to by \fIs2\fP, respectively.
