strnicmp() is a case-insensitive version of strncmp(); it compares a
maximum of 'n' characters of 'string1' to 'string2'. The strings are
compared lexicographically, without regard to case. (Uppercase and
lowercase forms of a letter are considered equivalent.)
Returns: A value indicating the relationship between the two
strings:
Comparison Returned
'string1' < 'string2' < 0.
'string1' == 'string2' 0
'string1' > 'string2' > 0.
Notes: strnicmp() expects to operate on null-terminated strings.
No overflow checking is done when strings are copied or
appended.
