+.Ft int
+.Fn strcasecmp "const char *s1" "const char *s2"
+.Ft int
+.Fn strncasecmp "const char *s1" "const char *s2" "size_t len"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn strcasecmp
+and
+.Fn strncasecmp
+functions
+compare the null-terminated strings
+.Fa s1
+and
+.Fa s2
+and return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
+according as
+.Fa s1
+is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than
+.Fa s2
+after translation of each corresponding character to lower-case.
+The strings themselves are not modified.
+The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that
+.Sq Li \e200
+is greater than
+.Ql \e0 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn strncasecmp
+compares at most
+.Fa len
+characters.
