NAME
     Tcl_UniCharToUpper, Tcl_UniCharToLower,  Tcl_UniCharToTitle,
     Tcl_UtfToUpper,  Tcl_UtfToLower,  Tcl_UtfToTitle  - routines
     for manipulating the case of Unicode  characters  and  UTF-8
     strings.

     Tcl_UniChar
     Tcl_UniCharToUpper(ch)

     Tcl_UniChar
     Tcl_UniCharToLower(ch)

     Tcl_UniChar
     Tcl_UniCharToTitle(ch)

     int

     Tcl_UtfToLower(str)

     int

ARGUMENTS
     int    ch     (in)      The Tcl_UniChar to be converted.

     char   *str   (in/out)  Pointer to UTF-8 string to  be  con-
                             verted in place.

DESCRIPTION
     The first three routines  convert  the  case  of  individual
     Unicode characters:

     If ch represents a lower-case character,  Tcl_UniCharToUpper
     returns  the  corresponding  upper-case  character.   If  no
     upper-case character is defined, it  returns  the  character
     unchanged.

     If ch represents an upper-case character, Tcl_UniCharToLower
     returns  the  corresponding  lower-case  character.   If  no
     lower-case character is defined, it  returns  the  character
     unchanged.

Tcl Library Procedures                       Tcl_UtfToUpper(3TCL)



     If ch represents a lower-case character,  Tcl_UniCharToTitle
     returns  the  corresponding  title-case  character.   If  no
     title-case character is defined, it returns the  correspond-
     ing  upper-case  character.   If  no upper-case character is
     defined, it returns the character unchanged.  Title-case  is
     defined  for  a  small number of characters that have a dif-
     ferent appearance when they are at the beginning of a  capi-
     talized word.

     The next three routines convert the case of UTF-8 strings in
     place in memory:

     Tcl_UtfToUpper changes  every  UTF-8  character  in  str  to
     upper-case.   Because  changing  the case of a character may
     change its size, the byte offset of each  character  in  the
     resulting  string  may  differ  from  its original location.
     Tcl_UtfToUpper writes a null byte at the  end  of  the  con-
     verted string.  Tcl_UtfToUpper returns the new length of the
     string in bytes.  This new length is  guaranteed  to  be  no
     longer than the original string length.

     Tcl_UtfToLower is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns
     each character in the string into its lower-case equivalent.

     Tcl_UtfToTitle is the same as Tcl_UtfToUpper except it turns
     the  first  character  in  the  string  into  its title-case
     equivalent and all following characters  into  their  lower-
     case equivalents.


BUGS
     At this time, the case conversions are only defined for  the
     ISO8859-1  characters.   Unicode characters above 0x00ff are
     not modified by these routines.
