Lines: 13 Message-ID: <4i0abr$9i0@news.cic.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: locust.cic.net Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:15252 comp.sys.sun.admin:63482 I'm trying to port a package to FreeBSD that was developed on SunOS. The developers made heavy use of the stricmp(3) and strnicmp(3) functions. As far as I can tell, they do not exist on FreeBSD. Additionally, although they're in the SunOS libc, they are not mentioned in the SunOS "string functions" man page. :( Can anyone point me to documentation of what these functions do, or offer macros to work around them easily? Am I correct in assuming they are deprecated? --Paul
