/*
* plstr.h
*
* This header file exports the API to the NSPR portable library or string-
* handling functions.
*
* This API was not designed as an "optimal" or "ideal" string library; it
* was based on the good ol' unix string.3 functions, and was written to
*
* 1) replace the libc functions, for cross-platform consistency,
* 2) complete the API on platforms lacking common functions (e.g.,
* strcase*), and
* 3) to implement some obvious "closure" functions that I've seen
* people hacking around in our code.
*
* Point number three largely means that most functions have an "strn"
* limited-length version, and all comparison routines have a non-case-
* sensitive version available.
