fwcscmpi: fuzzy comparison of two wide-character strings

NAME

fwcscmpi - fuzzy comparison of two wide-character strings

SYNOPSIS

#include <fstrcmp.h>

#define FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL
#define FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD
#define FSTRCMPI_ERROR

int fwcscmpi(const wchar_t *string1, const wchar_t *string2);

DESCRIPTION

The fwcscmpi() function compares the two wide-character strings, string1 and string2.

RETURN VALUE

The fwcscmpi function returns an int value between 0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL. A value of 0 means the two wide-character strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the two wide-character 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) failure.
