NAME

     case - convert ASCII uppercase bytes to lowercase

SYNTAX

     #include <case.h>

     void case_lowers(s);
     void case_lowerb(s,len);

     int case_diffs(s,t);
     int case_equals(s,t);
     int case_starts(s,t);

     int case_diffb(s,len,t);
     int case_startb(s,len,t);

     char *s;
     char *t;
     unsigned int len;

DESCRIPTION

     case_lowers converts each uppercase byte in the string s  to
     lowercase.  s must be 0-terminated.

     case_lowerb converts each uppercase byte in the buffer s, of
     length len, to lowercase.

     case_diffs lexicographically compares lowercase versions  of
     the  strings  s and t.  It returns something positive, nega-
     tive, or zero when the first is larger than,  smaller  than,
     or equal to the second.  s and t must be 0-terminated.

     case_equals means !case_diffs.

     case_starts returns 1 if a lowercase  version  of  s  starts
     with  a  lowercase  version  of  t.   s  and  t  must  be 0-
     terminated.

     case_diffb lexicographically compares lowercase versions  of
     the  buffers  s and t, each of length len.  It returns some-
     thing positive, negative, or zero when the first  is  larger
     than, smaller than, or equal to the second.

     case_startb returns 1 if a lowercase version of  the  buffer
     s,  of  length  len,  starts with a lowercase version of the
     string t.  t must be 0-terminated.

     The case routines are ASCII-specific.  They are suitable for
     programs that handle case-independent networking protocols.

     All comparisons are performed on unsigned bytes.
