.SH NAME
fmemcmpi \- fuzzy comparison of two memory areas
.if require_index \{
.\}
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <fstrcmp.h>
.sp 0.3
#define FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL
.br
#define FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD
.br
#define FSTRCMPI_ERROR
.sp 0.3
int
'in +0.5i
fmemcmpi(const void *data1, size_t size1, const void *data2, size_t size2);
.in -0.5i
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \f[B]fmemcmpi\fP() function compares the two memory areas,
the \f[I]size1\fP bytes pointed to by \f[I]data1\fP and
the \f[I]size2\fP bytes pointed to by \f[I]data2\fP.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The \f[B]fmemcmpi\fP function returns an \f[B]int\fP value between
0 and FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL.  A value of 0 means the memory areas are
utterly un\[hy]alike.  A value of FSTRCMPI_IDENTICAL means the memory areas are
identical.  A value of more than FSTRCMPI_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0
and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.
.PP
A value of FSTRCMPI_ERROR (always negative) indicates a \f[I]malloc\fP(3)
failure.
