DnsNameCompare macro (windns.h)
The DnsNameCompare function compares two DNS names. Like many DNS functions, the DnsNameCompare function type is implemented in multiple forms to facilitate different character encoding. Based on the character encoding involved, use one of the following functions:
- DnsNameCompare_A (_A for ANSI encoding)
- DnsNameCompare_W (_W for Unicode encoding)
- DnsNameCompare_UTF8 (_UTF8 for Unicode encoding)
Syntax
void DnsNameCompare(
n1,
n2
);
Parameters
n1
TBD
n2
TBD
Return value
None
Remarks
Name comparisons are not case sensitive, and trailing dots are ignored.
As with other DNS comparison functions, the DnsNameCompare function deems different encoding as an immediate indication of differing values, and as such, the same names with different characters encoding will not be reported identically.
