+ * 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.
