Bug#729436: [libc6-dev] strcasecmp declared twice

[Török Edwin <edwin@etorok.net>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.17-93
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

According to strcasecmp(3) and strcasecmp(3p) the function strcasecmp should be declared in strings.h.

However it is actually declared both in string.h and strings.h:
/usr/include/string.h:extern int strcasecmp (const char *__s1, const char *__s2)
/usr/include/string.h:extern int strcasecmp_l (const char *__s1, const char *__s2,
/usr/include/strings.h:extern int strcasecmp (const char *__s1, const char *__s2)
/usr/include/strings.h:extern int strcasecmp_l (const char *__s1, const char *__s2, __locale_t __loc)

If the declaration in string.h is a typo, please remove it.
Otherwise please update the manpage to mention that on Linux the function is actually declared in both string.h and strings.h, and you should check yourself that you included strings.h because you won't get any warning from the compiler about implicit declarations.
