 | Hello,
 | 
 | The function required is strcasecmp(3), which per POSIX is supposed
 | to be found in strings.h, rather than string.h, which means there's
 | no standard equivalent C++ library I'm aware of for it. From looking
 | at NetBSD/DragonFly BSD/FreeBSD/OpenBSD/GNU libc, I saw none that
 | would expose that function via string.h without an additional macro
 | being defined, since it's a legacy aspect of string.h, and more
 | "correct" to be accessed through strings.h.
 | 
 | (In retrospect, I should've made a note of this in my last email, as
 | I anticipated there'd be a question, but forgot to explain this. My
 | apologies.)
 
 "Ouch".
