.SH NAME
libsimple_strntolower, libsimple_stpntolower \- convert a string to lower case

.SH SYNOPSIS

#include <libsimple.h>

inline char *libsimple_strntolower(char *\fIdest\fP, const char *\fIsrc\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);
char *libsimple_stpntolower(char *\fIdest\fP, const char *\fIsrc\fP, size_t \fIn\fP);

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libsimple_strntolower ()
and
.BR libsimple_stpntolower ()
functions copies and covert a string, including the
NUL byte that terminates it, to lower case.
The string
.I src
is copied into
.IR dest ,
with all upper case ASCII characters converted to
lower case; however no more than
.I n
bytes will be copied or coverted. The arrays may overlap,
and there is an optimisation for the case where
.IR dest==src .

.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR libsimple_strntolower ()
function returns the pointer
.IR dest .
.PP
The
.BR libsimple_stpntolower ()
function returns the pointer
end of the string copied into
.IR dest ,
that is
.IR &dest[strnlen(src,n)] .

.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libsimple_strntolower ()
and
.BR libsimple_stpntolower ()
functions cannot fail.
