RealView Debugger Command Line Reference Guide: 3.2.36. stricmp

Compares two strings without case distinction.

int stricmp (str1, str2)
char *str1;
char *str2;

where:

str1: Variable of type pointer to char. Specifies the location in memory of the first byte of a character string.
str2: Variable of type pointer to char. Specifies the location in memory of the first byte of a character string.

This macro performs string comparison without case distinction. The stricmp macro compares strings in ASCII sequence, ignoring case.

int

One of the following:

<0: Indicates that the second argument string value comes after the first argument string value in the machine collating sequences, independent of case distinction, str1 < str2.
0: Indicates that the two strings are identical in content, independent of case distinction.
>0: Indicates that the first argument string value comes after the second argument string value in the machine collating sequences, independent of case distinction, str2 < str1.

Strings are assumed to be NUL terminated or to fit within the array boundaries.
Comparisons are always signed, regardless of how the string is declared.

This example shows how to use stricmp on the command line:

> ce stricmp("abcDEF","ABCdef")
  Result is: 0  0x00000000
