= stricmp =
''Microsoft-specific C function - not part of ANSI C''

== Syntax ==
{{int stricmp(const char* s1, const char* s2)}}

== Arguments ==
:'''s1'''
::Pointer to the string to compare.
:'''s2'''
::Pointer to the string to which the first string is compared to.

== Return ==
An integer value indicating the result of the comparison - less than zero if '''s1''' comes before '''s2''', zero if the two strings are identical, and greater than zero if '''s2''' comes after '''s1'''.

== Description ==
Compares two strings in a case insensitive manner.  That is, both strings are converted to lowercase before comparison.

If a negative value is returned, string '''s1''' is found to be less then '''s2'''. If zero is returned, both strings are identical. If a value positive and greater then zero is returned, string '''s1''' is greater than '''s2'''.

Characters are compared by their order in the ASCII character map.  This means numbers will be considered less then alphabetical characters.

== Comment ==
If you are writing cross-platform compatible code, note that this function is a Microsoft-specific extension in the Windows C Runtime, and not a part of the Standard C language.
