double fstrcmp(const char *string1, const char *string2);

The fstrcmp() function compares the two strings, string1 and string2.

The fstrcmp function returns a floating point value between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL.  A value of 0.0 means the strings are utterly un-alike.  A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical.  A value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered "similar" by most people.

A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) failure.
