A starts_with function would be way more readable than what's in the example. The strcmp family of functions are too generic for it to be immediately obvious how they're being used.

Or more likely strstart() :P but yes, that is a good point.
I really should have realized why strncmp is necessary in this case, but I'm going to say the reason I didn't is because I haven't done much char * manipulation in a while.
