/*
 * 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.
