                                 memicmp
   #include <string.h>
   int memicmp(const void *buf1, const void *buf2, size_t count);

   Usage
   The  function  memicmp compares the first count characters  from  buf1
   with those in buf2 on a byte for byte basis, without reference to  the
   case  of the letters being compared. Uppercase and  lowercase  letters
   are  considered to be equivalent. All uppercase (capital)  letters  in
   both buf1 and buf2 are converted to lowercase before the comparison is
   done.  This  function  is  identical to memcmp  except  that  case  is
   ignored.

   Example
   #include <string.h>
   #include <stdio.h>

   main()
   {
   char buffer1[50];
   char buffer2[50];
   int result;

        strcpy(buffer1,"Sample String\n");
        strcpy(buffer2,"sample 2 String\n");

        printf("memicmp function in progress\n");
        result = memicmp(buffer1,buffer2,50);
        printf("The result of memicmp is: %s\n",reslt);
   }

   Return Value
   memicmp returns an integer value which depends on the relationship  of
   buf1 to buf2, as follows:

   <0   buf1 less than buf2
   =0   buf1 identical to buf2
   >0   buf1 greater than buf2
