ws_ascii_strnatcasecmp()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC int ws_ascii_strnatcasecmp	(	nat_char const *	a,
		nat_char const *	b
	)

Performs ASCII natural-order string comparison (case-insensitive).

Compares two strings using "natural" ordering, ignoring case differences. Numeric substrings are compared by numeric value.

Parameters

a	First string to compare.
b	Second string to compare.

Returns

An integer similar to strcasecmp():

• < 0 if a < b
• 0 if a == b
• > 0 if a > b

ws_ascii_strnatcmp()

WS_DLL_PUBLIC int ws_ascii_strnatcmp	(	nat_char const *	a,
		nat_char const *	b
	)

Performs ASCII natural-order string comparison (case-sensitive).

Compares two strings using "natural" ordering, where numeric substrings are compared based on their numeric value rather than lexicographic order. For example, "file2" comes before "file10".

Parameters

a	First string to compare.
b	Second string to compare.

Returns

An integer similar to strcmp():

• < 0 if a < b
• 0 if a == b
• > 0 if a > b
