Dev C++ & 'strncasecmp' question

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I installed Dev C++ v4.9.7.0 on Windows ME &

I experience the following problem:

I would like to know what this does:

if (strncasecmp(p->firstName, fname, n)==0)

I have 4 Questions:

1. I know it compares the length of the 2 first
    words, but what does the third argument " n ",
    represent?
2. And what about the outcome?
    True = 1 & False = 0 ?
3. Does DevC++ support the use of strncasecmp?
    And if yes, what library do I need to load?
    Is it #include <string.h>?
4. Is there an internet site or address that gives
    a list of all the libraries & the functions that
   each library loads in Dev C++?

I appreciate for your help, thanks!

Dev-C++ is an IDE (a visual interface) to the GCC compiler ported to windows environment by the MingW project.

GCC (GNU Compiler Coolection)
http://gcc.gnu.org

MingW
www.mingw.org

That said, yes, mingw supports strncasecmp. The correct header is string.h. How do i know that?
(Open a dos box)
cd \
cd %Your MingW\include dir%
grep strncasecmp *

And I got:
string.h:strncasecmp (const char * __sz1, const char * __sz2, size_t __sizeMaxCompare)

There it is :)
