+NAME
+    match - Compare two strings and output visual match status
+
+SYNOPSIS
+    match <String1> <String2> [-CaseSensitive]
+    match -Help
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    Compares two string arguments.
+    Outputs "Match OK" in GREEN if they match.
+    Outputs "FAIL: NO MATCH" in RED if they differ.
+
+PARAMETERS
+    String1
+        The first string to compare.
+
+    String2
+        The second string to compare.
+
+    -CaseSensitive
+        Perform a case-sensitive comparison (default is case-insensitive).
+
+    -h, -Help, h, help (case insensitive)
+        Display this help message.
+
+EXAMPLES
+    1. Compare two strings (case-insensitive default):
+       match "hello" "Hello"
+       Output: Match OK (in green)
+
+    2. Compare two strings with case sensitivity:
+       match "hello" "Hello" -CaseSensitive
+       Output: FAIL: NO MATCH (in red)
+
+    3. Compare hashes or checksum outputs:
+       match "e3b0c442" "e3b0c442"
+       Output: Match OK (in green)
