<p>This include file defines functions for case mapping for Unicode strings and
case insensitive comparison of Unicode strings and C strings.
</p>
<p>These string functions fix the problems that were mentioned in
<a href="libunistring_1.html#SEC6">&lsquo;<samp>char *</samp>&rsquo; strings</a>, namely, they handle the Croatian
<small>LETTER DZ WITH CARON</small>, the German <small>LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S</small>, the

</p>
<p>The titlecase mapping of a character is to be used when the character should
look like upper case and the following characters are lower cased.
</p>
<p>For most characters, this is the same as the uppercase mapping.  There are
only few characters where the title case variant and the uuper case variant
are different.  These characters occur in the Latin writing of the Croatian,
Bosnian, and Serbian languages.

<h2 class="section"> <a href="libunistring.html#TOC69">14.2 Case mappings of strings</a> </h2>

<p>Case mapping should always be performed on entire strings, not on individual
characters.  The functions in this sections do so.
</p>
<p>These functions allow to apply a normalization after the case mapping.  The
reason is that if you want to treat &lsquo;<samp>&auml;</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>&Auml;</samp>&rsquo; the same,
you most often also want to treat the composed and decomposed forms of such
a character, U+00C4 <small>LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS</small> and
U+0041 <small>LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A</small> U+0308 <small>COMBINING DIAERESIS</small> the same.
The <var>nf</var> argument designates the normalization.
</p>
<a name="IDX825"></a>
<p>These functions are locale dependent.  The <var>iso639_language</var> argument
identifies the language (e.g. <code>&quot;tr&quot;</code> for Turkish).  NULL means to use
locale independent case mappings.

<p>Case mapping of a substring cannot simply be performed by extracting the
substring and then applying the case mapping function to it.  This does not
work because case mapping requires some information about the surrounding
characters.  The following functions allow to apply case mappings to

precede it (the &ldquo;prefix&rdquo;) and the characters that follow it (the &ldquo;suffix&rdquo;).

<dd><p>Sets <code>*<var>resultp</var></code> to true if case matters for <var>s</var>, that is, if
mapping NFD(<var>s</var>) to either upper case or lower case or title case is not
a no-op.  Set <code>*<var>resultp</var></code> to false if NFD(<var>s</var>) maps to itself
under the upper case mapping, under the lower case mapping, and under the title
case mapping; in other words, when NFD(<var>s</var>) consists entirely of caseless
characters. Upon failure, returns -1 with <code>errno</code> set.
